Call the #activate method of the autocompleter when the text input
receives focus. In SUAutocompletionTest I quickly hacked this as
follows:
renderContentOn: html
html paragraph: 'Start to type a Smalltalk class-name:'.
html paragraph: [
html textInput
id: 'text';
value: text;
" the activation "
onFocus: (html autocompleter
alias: 'autocompleter';
activate);
callback: [ :value | text := value ].
html div
class: 'autocomplete';
script: (html autocompleter
" the autocompleter needs a name "
assignTo: 'autocompleter';
element: 'text';
" normally the autocompleter doesn't start before 2 characters
have been typed "
minChars: 0;
onSelected: (html request
triggerFormElement: 'text');
on: #renderListOn: of: self) ]
You also need to update the list renderer so that it actually displays
something in the empty case:
renderListOn: html
| items |
items := Smalltalk allClasses.
text isEmpty ifFalse: [
items := items select: [ :each | each name includesSubstring: text
caseSensitive: false ] ].
html unorderedList list: (items first: (items size min: 10))
Hope this helps,
