extjs grid combo box issue

Question

I am using ext js auto complete combo box with label and id values, It is perfectly showing the label in front and getting id as a value.

But my problem is after selecting the label in combo box it immediately showing the id value instead of label value.

I have created example grid code. Please view the code and image.

Your problem occurs because you are displaying the value within a grid. You need to create a renderer for that column which uses the correct field from the record.

http://dev.sencha.com/deploy/ext-3.3.1/docs/?class=Ext.form.ComboBox

Look for the section that says ComboBox in Grid

If using a ComboBox in an Editor Grid a renderer will be needed to show the displayField when the editor is not active. Set up the renderer manually, or implement a reusable render, for example:

Ext.util.Format.comboRenderer = function(combo){
    return function(value){
        var record = combo.findRecord(combo.valueField, value);
        return record ? record.get(combo.displayField) : combo.valueNotFoundText;
    }
}

Your code was also suffering from lots of extra commas at the end of property lists. That will not even parse in IE, I removed them from the code you posted.
