Implementing Auto complete [message #6034]

Hello Everybody,

I would like to ask if it is possible to implement auto complete
functonality(like in the eclipse editor) with a Text widget. I learnt the
auto complete works only with editors. But in my case i have a form with a
Text widget area of size 300 X 100 and want to implement the auto complete
functionality inside.

If it is possible can you please hep me what to do to get it done or refer
me to a pointer where i can learn how it is implemented.

I read some thing on this site:

http://help.eclipse.org/stable/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse. platform.doc.isv/guide/jface_fieldassist.htm

but it is talking about "SourceViewerConfiguration" and others but the
Text widget has no "SourceViewerConfiguration" options.

Need your help. Thank you.

Regards,
George.

Hi George,

Find some quite time and study SourceViewer and its related classes and
interfaces from org.eclipse.jface.text. There are probably good articles
and/or EclipseCon tutorials/talks about this, and a quick Google search
turned up this: http://www.realsolve.co.uk/site/tech/jface-text.php

Hi,
Thank you very much for your reply. I appreciate it.
However, the popup appears for the first time only and when i choose a
word and begins to type the next word, the popup don't show up again.

How can i fix it and also how can i set the autoactivate funtionality.

Here is the snippet of my code:

TextContentAdapter cAdapter = new TextContentAdapter();
AutoCompleteField at = new AutoCompleteField(this.txtSoulQuery,
cAdapter, new String [] {"?One", "ProposalTwo",
"cProposalThree"});

Thank you.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I have the same implementation as yours and
that is not what am looking for. What am looking for is an implementation
that filters the proposals so that when the user begins to type the
proposals will be filterd like the way Google suggest or Browsers work.

Need Help.

Thank you very Much.

George.
