datagrid validatebox vs. combobox

[jaimi]

I want to define a validatebox with prompt:

It doesn't show the prompt.
,{field:'PUA_STATUS',title:'Status',width:080,sortable:'true'
    ,editor:{ type:'validatebox'
              ,options:{ required:true
                    ,disabled:false
                ,editable:true
                      ,prompt:'Status...'
                  ,missingMessage: 'Geben Sie den Status ein.'
          }//options
     }//editor
     //,editor:{type:'validatebox',options:{required:false}}
    }//field

If I make a combobox of it then it shows the prompt. Whats wrong?

,{field:'PUA_STATUS',title:'Status',width:080,sortable:'true'
    ,editor:{ type:'combobox'
              ,options:{ required:true
                   ,disabled:false
             ,editable:true
                      ,prompt:'Status...'
                  ,missingMessage: 'Geben Sie den Status ein.'
          }//options
     }//editor
    }//field

It works when I make a textbox out of it:
,{field:'PUA_STATUS',title:'Status',width:080,sortable:'true'
    ,editor:{ type:'textbox'
              ,options:{ required:true
                   ,disabled:false
             ,editable:true
                      ,prompt:'Status...'
                  ,missingMessage: 'Geben Sie den Status ein.'
          }//options
     }//editor
    }//field

The 'validatebox' is a pure <input> element. It hasn't the 'prompt' property. You have to attach a 'placeholder' attribute by yourself.
