Set default values to form via Ajax handle

JaxP

Hello,
I am trying to set default values to the form via ajax handle function.

I have something like this

public function handleGetUnitData($uid) {
    //...
    //accUnitForm is my form
    $this['accUnitForm']->setDefaults(array(
        "name" => "default name"
    ));
    //...
    $this->redrawControl('unitManager'); //unitManager is snippet where is form included
}

Snippet UnitManager is being updated (by redrawControl) but default values are not set (network console doesn't give any error – everything just goes fine).

Any ideas how to load default values “onclick” to the form?
Thank you

Hi, problem is, that you try to set default values which is already rendered. I think what you need, is not to set default values but Values. I know that is not so clear solution, but try

$this['accUnitForm']->setValues(array(
        "name" => "default name"
    ), true);

i'm adding a note for the next person struggling with this.
if you look at the code for setDefaultValue the value is only set if the form is not submitted ($form->isSubmitted() ==false). (also the form must not be disabled or anchored). else no value is set.

However isSubmitted() will return true when there is any getHttpData – ie even when another form on the page has ajaxed or posted.

so if the another (even non-nette) form has ajaxed/posted then setDefaultValues won't set your values. instead use setValues. like wohral's post above says. This behaviour may be documented somewhere but i haven't see it.
