AutoCompleteTextField

[Patrick Petermair <pa...@openforce.com>]

Hi!

Is it possible to get the AutoCompleteTextField to return a list of all 
available choices when the user presses the downward key?

I tried to return an iterator for the full list when the input of 
getChoices(String input) is empty, but this only works when the user 
presses the space key. When the user presses the downward key, nothing 
happpens.

Thanks,
Patrick

Thanks!

Works like a charm.
I didn't even think about using AutoCompleteSettings...

Wouldn't it be enough to just let the list show on focus and on empty input?

Use:
AutoCompleteSettings settings = new AutoCompleteSettings();
settings.setShowListOnEmptyInput(true);
settings.setShowListOnFocusGain(true);
// and possibly other settings as needed

And then specify those settings in the constructor..

No, I want to select a single item - but out of a list of all the items.
Take the example at:
www.wicket-library.com/wicket-examples/ajax/autocomplete

The user starts typing "a" and the AutoCompleteTextField suggests the 
values Algeria, Austria, Australia, etc.
In my usecase, the user wants to press the down key and be presented 
with a list of all the countries so that he can navigate through them 
with the up & down keys.

Let's say a user has 100 possible choices .. then it makes sense to type 
in the first few letters until he is down to probably 5 choices or so. 
But another user may have only 3 possible choices. For him it would be 
better to just use the down key right away and select the value he wants 
instead of having him type a letter first..

Cheers,
Patrick

You need to be able to select multiple items from autocomplete dropdown list
with just DOWN key ??? 

why do you need this kind of behavior ? 

King regards
