Hi Heikki,
Basically the AutoCompleteTextField is a TextField, so you can cannot
restrict - strictly speaking - the user choice like you can do with a
DropDownChoice/DropDownList for instance...
However...
If the ACTF choice list is *type of String*, you can validate the user
choice, and report an error if the choice is not part of the list:
form.add(autocomplete.setRequired(true).add(new
IValidator<String>() {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
@Override
public void validate(IValidatable<String> validatable) {
//TODO: customize the validation process here:
if (!MY_LIST.contains(validatable.getValue())) {
validatable.error(new ValidationError("not a valid
choice!"));
}
}
}));
Second option: If the ACTF choice list is *type of beans*, then you can
check whether the modelobject is null in form#onSubmit. But as it is a
little bit late in the form processing (the components and form validation
already succeed) , prefer the option #1 if you can
Hope this helps,
Sebastien.
