AutoLookupTextFieldEx show popup
Tue, 07/15/2008 - 11:08 — isusanin
I'm trying to force the suggestions drop-down popup to appear when the user clicks inside the textbox or presses the down arrow. I don't see how to do that. The only time the popup appears is when the user starts typing in the field. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Problem with AutoLookUpTextField
Hi,
You need to change the .js for providing this functionality. If you are using auto look up text field you would have noticed that when you attach an action listener to you text field and try to select any thing from your suggested drop down using keyboard/mouse nothing will be selected nor the pop up will close.
when you select something from model it doesn't go to server instantly infact queued in the client message. But if you attach an action listener it will go to server at that time and passes the js code for selecting from the model(drop down) and closing the pop up.
For adding this functionality change java script to send a request when the option is selected and take the action when receive the server message.
Hope this will help you.
