Maybe try using Selection.getCaretIndex() as
the input_length?

Hi List,
I try to code a auto complete ComboBox. It nearly
woks, I give you my code:
<?xml version="1.0"
encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
var my_select;
function completeComboBox(){
var input_length = brand.value.length;
for(var i=0; i < brands.brand.length; i++){
if(brands.brand[i].substr(0,input_length) ==
brand.value.toUpperCase().substr(0,input_length)){
brand.text = brands.brand[i];
break;
}
}
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Model id="brands"
source="brands.xml" />
<mx:Panel
width="100%" height="100%">
<mx:Form width="100%" height="100%">
<mx:FormItem label="brand">
<mx:ComboBox id="brand" dataProvider="{brands.brand}"
editable="true"
change="completeComboBox()" />
</mx:FormItem>
</mx:Form>
<mx:TextArea text="{my_select}" width="100%"
height="25%"></mx:TextArea>
</mx:Panel>
</mx:Application>
If I type only one character, the completion works
well. The problem is a user
input longer than one character.
I'll give you an example. Lets say I'm searching
for the brand "Mercedes-Benz".
I type M, auto completion is executed and there is
"Malaguti" in the editable
ComboBox. The cursor is behind the "M".
I search for "Mercedes-Benz" and type
"e". The "e" is inserted at
the cursor position and there is "Mealaguti" in the
ComboBox.
Is there any possibility to cut off everything
which is behind the cursor, so
the auto completion only uses characters I typed
in?
Any thougt is appreciated.
Christoph
