Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: core Group: 1.2 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Karri-Pekka Laakso (kplaakso) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Allow search match highlight in autocomplete Initial Comment: The current version of AutoCompleteTextField makes it extremely difficult to highlight the matching substring of the matching items (the result set), since the renderer cannot know what the searched string was. An example: In a search for persons, the user writes in the autocomplete field the string "an", and the system finds the following alternatives: Anderson Michael Danish John Rickenbacker Brian With the plain list, the user has problems in understanding why Brian is on the list. With highlight, it's trivial: *An*derson Michael D*an*ish John Rickenbacker Bri*an* However, the previous cannot be done very easily with current autocomplete classes, since the autocomplete renderer does not know what the search criteria was. This can be fixed easily by adding a parameter to the current render(Object object, Response response) method of IAutoCompleteRenderer, changing it to render(Object object, Response response, String criteria). I've added a patch below that does this change. Changing the method signature affects 4 classes in the wicket.extensions.ajax.markup.html.autocomplete package. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=684977&aid=1498076&group_id=119783 ------------------------------------------------------- All the advantages of Linux Managed Hosting--Without the Cost and Risk!
