I've been developing a app using the awesome bbUI.js library, in this particular app I've used a control for the first time, the Pill Button control. One of the things that I need to make on this app is set the selected item dinamically, just like I can do with the Drop Down control .setSelectedItem(), but there's nothing in the docs detailing how to make it for Pill Buttons. Any ideas?

Disclaimer: I haven't used a Pill Button yet.

But it looks like it's just DIV elements. DropDown works on an extended Select element.

So I think you need to lookup the div with data-bb-type="pill-buttons", iterate through its sub-divs and change all data-bb-selected attributes.

If you are talking about smartphones, there isn't a way to do it... yet, but it's in the BBUI roadmap.

You can, however, change all the attributes manually... or think of a better option

Oh thanks very much for the information. I'll implement a Drop Down for the first version of the app then when the set method is implemented on the next versions I'll update the app to include the Pill Buttons.

Not sure if there's an official solution for this issue, but the following worked for me...

var pb1 = document.getElementById('pushbutton1');

pb1.dotouchstart();

pb1.dotouchend();

You need both calls. I don't see any downside to this approach so far.
