Take the example at: www.wicket-library.com/wicket-examples/ajax/autocompleteThe 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..
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..
