B4J Question [ABMaterial] Workaround for HTML quote in ABMcombo?

[stanmiller]

I'm looking for a workaround to force a quote to display correctly in ABMCombo.

There appears to be a bug in the ABMCombo.SetActiveItemId() method when items contain quotes. For the most part quotes are displayed correctly by the control. It's only when you specify an item with SetActiveItemId() that the HTML quote shows.

Any ideas?

Can you provide me some sample code that reproduces this?

Dim desc as String
Dim itemID = "0" As String

desc = $"Colonial Beige 1/2""$
comboProduct.AddItem( itemID, desc, BuildSimpleItem("S2" & itemID , "", "{NBSP}{NBSP}" & desc ))
comboProduct.SetActiveItemId( itemID )

The key is to set the active item with SetActiveItemId(). Otherwise the description is displayed correctly.

For example, if you set PlaceHolderText the quote displays correct.

comboProduct.PlaceHolderText = desc
