Extjs 4 combobox default value

Question

I'm migrating my application from ExtJs 3 to 4 version. I have several comboboxes at my formPanel, and previously I've used hiddenName and all that stuff to submit valueField instead of displayField.

All my adaptation works fine (value field IS submitting), but I can't set the default values for comboboxes, they are shown as empty after page load. Previously, I did that just with specifying the 'value' parameter in config. Is there any ideas how to fix that?

My code - Model and Store:

Ext.define('idNamePair', {
    extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
    fields: [
        {name: 'id', type: 'string'},
        {name: 'name',  type: 'string'}
    ]
});

var dirValuesStore = new Ext.data.Store({
    model: 'idNamePair',
    proxy: {
        type: 'ajax',
        url: '../filtervalues.json',
        reader: {
            type: 'json',
            root: 'dir'
        }
    },
    autoLoad: true
});

Combo config:

{
    triggerAction: 'all',
    id: 'dir_id',
    fieldLabel: 'Direction',
    queryMode: 'local',
    editable: false,
    xtype: 'combo',
    store : dirValuesStore,
    displayField:'name',
    valueField:'id',
    value: 'all',
    width: 250,
    forceSelection:true
}

I had the same problem, afaik has to do with selectlist rendering before the items are added to the store. I tried the callback method mentioned above without any luck (guess it would have to be a callback on the selectlist rather than the store).

I added this line after adding items to the store and it works fine:

Ext.getCmp('selectList').setValue(store.getAt('0').get('id'));
