Autocomplete text concatenation
Hi. Couldn't find an answer but perhaps this is a common thing to want to do: Using an AutoCompleteTextField I want to allow the user to select choices as he types, then update the text area by appending the selected choice. Similar to the way a web mail application would allow a user to type email address after email address and see them appended to the text field. Is there an easy way to achieve this?

Re: Autocomplete text concatenation
if i understand correctly you need a multi autocompleter. do you mean something like this? http://digitarald.de/project/autocompleter/1-1/showcase/delicious-tags/ (i have integrated it with wicket, it's indeed used when you edit topics of a module in wickethub). francisco On Mon, Dec 15, 2008 at 8:36 PM, Graeme Knight graeme1...@gmail.com wrote: Hi.

Re: Autocomplete text concatenation
This is also something you can do with object autocomplete from Wicketstuff francisco treacy wrote: if i understand correctly you need a multi autocompleter. do you mean something like this? http://digitarald.de/project/autocompleter/1-1/showcase/delicious-tags/ (i have integrated it with wicket, it's indeed used when you edit topics of a module in wickethub). francisco On Mon, Dec 15, 2008 at 8:36 PM, Graeme Knight graeme1...@gmail.com wrote: Hi.

Re: Autocomplete text concatenation
Hi there! Something like that - but I was hoping it might be easy to somehow do this with autocompletetextfield from wicket extensions - I guess there may be a little trickery to manipulating the unsubmitted text in the textfield itself (although this comes in as the input for getChoice so I was wondering if it were somehow useable from that). francisco treacy-2 wrote: if i understand correctly you need a multi autocompleter. do you mean something like this? http://digitarald.de/project/autocompleter/1-1/showcase/delicious-tags/ (i have integrated it with wicket, it's indeed used when you edit topics of a module in wickethub). francisco On Mon, Dec 15, 2008 at 8:36 PM, Graeme Knight graeme1...@gmail.com wrote: Hi.

Re: Autocomplete text concatenation
One idea I had was to do something like the following code:
This class would be added to the AutocompleteTextField (as below).
inputSoFar would be the input to the getChoices() method minus the string we
are looking for, so for example:
fred,jim,b
inputSoFar would be 'fred,jim'. input (to getChoices( String input )) would
be 'b' after chopping off fred,jim, - once the user selects 'bob' from the
autocompleter, then input would be 'bob' also.
So finally in the ChangeBehavor class, inputSoFar + input would resolve to
fred,jim,bob and be populated in the text field.
Two problems with this:
a) It seems a bit hokey.
b) I have to store inputSoFar as a private member variable in the
AutocompleteTextField, which seems like an overhead to me.
Anyone got any thoughts?
Many thanks, Graeme.
public class ChangeBehavior extends AjaxFormComponentUpdatingBehavior
{
private static final long serialVersionUID = 8090648380154153004L;
public ChangeBehavior()
{
super( onchange );
}
/* (non-Javadoc)
* @see
org.apache.wicket.ajax.form.AjaxFormComponentUpdatingBehavior#onUpdate(org.apache.wicket.ajax.AjaxRequestTarget)
*/
@Override
protected void onUpdate( AjaxRequestTarget target )
{
String input = String.class.cast( getModelObject() );
setModel( new Model( inputSoFar + input ) );
target.addComponent( AutoCompleteContactTextField.this );
}
}
