hi,
this behaviour would be very interesting indeed. i think it is not
difficult to implement such a behaviour, yet there is a blocking
problem: i think rap is still missing the functionality to select text
in a text widget or combo programmatically, or it was, when i was
looking for this methods some time ago :). so how is the current state
of this functionality?

Hi,
I would try to use org.eclipse.swt.events.ModifyListener and
org.eclipse.jface.dialogs.PopupDialog to implement such a functionality.
The modify listener on the text field that accepts the user-input could
open the PopupDialog on input change. If it's already open, it changes
the content of the popup dialog. The dialog could be positioned at the
left-buttom corner of the text field. And the content proposals could be
displayed using the table control.
Ciao

Hello Guys,
I wonder how to get Auto-suggesting functionality working on the RAP.
Lets say we have a Text box where a user enters "E" and there should be
"cliepse" appearing right next to it in a shaded/selected format.
This seems to be a very valid user requirements for Ajax-enabled web
applications these days (Google, yahoo, etc). I want to understand how
this can be achieved with our RAP technology. If its not achievable, I
want to understand the difference as compared to other Ajax libraries.
Could we have a discussion on this front. If anyone has a working demo
of this thing can you please share it with the group.
Thank you for your time.

Oops,
I was to fast and didn't read the question properly, sorry. You want the
proposal directly in the textfield. Hm, I think the only way to do this
currently is to use a custom component, since we can't select text in a
widget programmatically as ben pointed out. And creating an overlay
doesn't work since we don't get the cursor position at the moment in
case of the modify event.
Ciao
