Af:inputComboboxListOfValues with af:autoSuggestBehavior

Hello,
I am using Jdev 11.1.1.4.0.
I have a client form that takes client information. One of the field, State, is an LOV combo box with autosuggest behavior. It works like a charm if I select a value from the suggested list. However, if I enter a new value, I get a validation error while committing. The error is "Invalid Value: ###". So the autosuggest inou only accepts suggested? Is there a way to make this component accept new value?
Many thanks in advance,
Bones Jones

Hi,
the comboboy LOV does not allow values that aren't in the LOV. If you add a new value that is not in the LOV list (not the suggest list) then this is put as an error

Af:inputComboboxListOfValues with image

Hi,
Is it possible to include an image in the dropdown used with af:inputComboboxListOfValues.
Thanks!

My bad.
JDev version: 11.1.2.2.0
There would be 2 columns : 'Name' & 'Image', For instance
<name> <image>
<name> <image>
The images would be fetched from file system and not from DB. Also the <Name> would be hyperlinked. As far as I reckon, the af:inputComboboxListOfValues will not show in the design time but in the runtime. So if I don't fetch my images from DB, it will be an issue for my design. Any thing I can do to overcome this.
Thanks!

Af:autoSuggestBehavior How to fire it only after specific char count.

Hi,
In our application we have a input text with af:autoSuggestBehavior. When the user starts typing a small drop down come which displays the result. The client requirement is that the drop down should not come(appear at all) till the user types first 3 chars.. Is it possible ?. if so please let me know how

Hi,
In the auto suggest method that is present in the backing bean we are calling the model layer only after 3 characters. In the UI we get a drop down saying no match found say when the user types less that 3 chars. Can we avoid that?.. Can we some how hide the drop down till the user types 3 chars..

AutoSuggest dropdown popup size wrong when .AFDefaultFont:alias changed

Hi!
I'm using Jdeveloper 11.1.2.3
I've been implemented inputComboboxListOfValues with autoSuggestBehavior. All works fine, but then we changed default font size parameter to
.AFDefaultFont:alias {
font-size: 14px;
the size of autoSuggestBehavior dropdown list popup is not enough to display content and a scroll bar appears.
How can I solve it?
Thanks!

Programatically calling control flows from java code

Hi all,
I have a bounded taskFlow that uses pageFragments. This flow is a region in a page(.jspx).
In my page fragment, I have a inputComboboxListOfValues with a ValueChangeListener code in a java bean.
I want when a value is changed, to programatically call "controll flow" (this one has: "From Activity Id" -the page fragment with that inputComboboxListOfValues, and "To Activity Id" - the default Activity on this task Flow).
So when the value change, practically I want to restart the flow programatically and pass the selected value as input parameter.
Since the inputComboboxListOfValues is not like a button where in the "Action" property you can set the Control Flow and navigate somewhere, the only option I have is to programatically cause navigation from java code (example: the value change listener code).
Can this be achieved?
Any advice is helpfull.

Hi,
Absolutely, you can do it using the NavigationHandler. Try the following in you value change listener:
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getcurrentInstance();
NavigationHandler handler = context.getApplication().getNavigationHandler();
handler.handleNavigation(context, null, outcome);
// Render the response after that phase, the button actions should not be called
context.renderResponse();
// Add the following line if you want to prevent further value change listeners to be called
// throw new AbortProcessingException();Regards,

Escaping html tags

Hi all,
I have af:inputText with:
<af:autoSuggestBehavior suggestedItems="#{myBean.partSuggestedItems}"/> .
I am constructing the " List<SelectItem>" normally. No problem.
I am using code like:
SelectItem selectItem = new SelectItem();
selectItem.setValue(eValue);
selectItem.setLabel(eLabel);
...How can I escape HTML tag to be treated as HTML tag instead of pure string?
How can I achieve this??
Please advice.

Escape property can be defined on Output text only, not on input text.
I want to add style in the auto suggested list. So the values shown in Italic, or some color.
selectItem.setLabel(); expects a String.
So I want to fill my string with HTML tags.
I tried:
String italic = "<i>" + eLabel + "</i>";
selectItem.setLabel(italic);But obvious that did not work.
Can I escape HTML tags in a String value??

Suggested list size is limited with 10 elements using autoSuggestBehavior

Hi,
I am using the autoSuggestBehavior with inputListOfValuesComponent. suggestedItems come from a ViewObject. When I type a any letter the suggested items list is always is limited with 10 items(event the suggested list is longer) and user must go to another page to see the rest. Is there a way to increase the suggested list size?
Thanks in advance..

With the latest release of Jdeveloper we have a new component with auto suggest, so you dont need to implement any kinda of listeners or javascrips.I have used it as below ;
<af:inputListOfValues id="gittigiYerTitleId" searchDesc="Ara"
popupTitle="Search and Select: #{bindings.ViewMisdt626_1.hints.GittigiYerTitle.label}"
value="#{row.bindings.GittigiYerTitle.inputValue}"
model="#{bindings.GittigiYerTitle.listOfValuesModel}"
required="#{bindings.ViewMisdt626_1.hints.GittigiYerTitle.mandatory}"
columns="#{bindings.ViewMisdt626_1.hints.GittigiYerTitle.displayWidth}"
shortDesc="#{bindings.ViewMisdt626_1.hints.GittigiYerTitle.tooltip}"
partialTriggers="selectGidisTuru"
binding="#{backingBeanScope.backing_app_yeniEvrak.gittigiYerTitleId}">
<f:validator binding="#{row.bindings.GittigiYerTitle.validator}"/>
<af:autoSuggestBehavior suggestedItems="#{bindings.GittigiYerTitle.suggestedItems}"/>
</af:inputListOfValues>
Where the suggestedItems list comes from a view object. My problem here is when I type any criteria it offers me only the first 10 items for the rest I must go to the search page offered again by the component. This ussage is not being so friendly for the users. I thought that there must a setting for the size of the offered items list.

Appropriate component with auto complete and list of values

Hello,
I am using Jdev 11.1.1.6.0 with ADF BC and ADF Faces as technology stack.
I have a use-case and right now struggling to find the appropriate component/implementation for same. The requirement is:
1. User should be able to type and tab out to auto complete with perfect match.
2. Not all users are expert so they should be able search and select the items from list
3. Minimum key press should be there. E.g. auto complete should require only one tab press to complete and go to next field
inputComboboxListOfValues fits most of above except #3. One tab simply selects the item from list and second tab is needed to move out to next attribute. Is there a way to force one tab to auto-complete and move out to next attribute?
Tried simple inputBox with autoSuggest behavior but it lacks in opening of search and select feature that LOV component provides. Another drawback is that you need to wait for auto suggest list to appear and select before moving out to next attribute.
This is needed on a very highly frequent used screen, so no speed and key press compromise is expected. Most users are expert and they know the code, so just type and tab out is expected but at the same time if typo happens and code does not exist in valid list then pop-up should appear to search and select.
Is there a way to achieve this in ADF application (this is very well implemented in Oracle Forms application)?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jai

Hi Frank,
I understand the single matching value and expecting move out in single tab for perfect match only. inputComboboxListOfValues selects the entry in one tab [even for single matching value] and user has to press another tab to go to next attribute.
Are you suggesting that it actually moves out to next field in single tab for "single matching value"?
Thanks,
Jai

How to change the style of text rendered in a af:autoSuggestBehavior ?

I am trying to build a component in ADF with auto suggest behaviour which should be same as the way google auto suggest works. Some portion of the text in the google auto suggest will be bold. Is it possible to make the text as bold in <af:autoSuggestBehavior> ?
<af:inputText value="#{bindings.AirportName.inputValue}"
label="#{bindings.AirportName.hints.label}"
required="#{bindings.AirportName.hints.mandatory}"
columns="#{bindings.AirportName.hints.displayWidth}"
maximumLength="#{bindings.AirportName.hints.precision}"
shortDesc="#{bindings.AirportName.hints.tooltip}"
binding="#{AutoSug.it1}" id="it1">
<f:validator binding="#{bindings.AirportName.validator}"/>
<af:autoSuggestBehavior suggestedItems="#{AutoSug.getAirport}" />
</af:inputText>

Currently you cannot, it is a known (and hopefully reported, and at least addressed for next version) bug (or limitation, as they rushed to get the components out before JavaOne...).
People reported they just put an empty text and put a label beside the component. Ugly workaround (bad when the component will be complete) but if it works... :-)

Need to implement auto suggest with multiple select in a input text field

Hi,
Jdev Ver: 11.1.1.4
My requirement is to create an input field where i can provide auto suggest and user can enter multiple email ids. It is similar to current "To" field while composing a mail in Gmail.
Problem:
I have implemented input box with auto suggest. For the first entry it works fine. when i enter 2nd value(i have used ',' (comma) as separator and handled it in 'suggestItems' bean method to take sub-string after comma for providing the suggestion) , after selection.... the first value get lost. So at a time only one value is selected in the input text.
Input text:
<af:inputText label="Names" id="it21" rows="2"
columns="50" simple="true"
valueChangeListener="#{VisitBackingBean.visitMembersInputBoxCL}"
binding="#{VisitBackingBean.visitMembersInputBox}">
<af:autoSuggestBehavior suggestItems="#{VisitBackingBean.onSuggest}"/>
</af:inputText>
Bean Method:
public List onSuggest(FacesContext facesContext,
AutoSuggestUIHints autoSuggestUIHints) {
BindingContext bctx = BindingContext.getCurrent();
BindingContainer bindings = bctx.getCurrentBindingsEntry();
String inputNamevalue = autoSuggestUIHints.getSubmittedValue().trim();
if(inputNamevalue.contains(",")) {
inputNamevalue = inputNamevalue.substring(inputNamevalue.lastIndexOf(",")+1).trim();
//create suggestion list
List<SelectItem> items = new ArrayList<SelectItem>();
// if (autoSuggestUIHints.getSubmittedValue().length() > 3) {
OperationBinding setVariable =
(OperationBinding)bindings.get("setnameSearch");
setVariable.getParamsMap().put("value",
inputNamevalue);
setVariable.execute();
//the data in the suggest list is queried by a tree binding.
JUCtrlHierBinding hierBinding =
(JUCtrlHierBinding)bindings.get("AutoSuggestName_TUserROView1");
//re-query the list based on the new bind variable values
hierBinding.executeQuery();
//The rangeSet, the list of queries entries, is of type //JUCtrlValueBndingRef.
List<JUCtrlValueBindingRef> displayDataList =
hierBinding.getRangeSet();
for (JUCtrlValueBindingRef displayData : displayDataList) {
Row rw = displayData.getRow();
//populate the SelectItem list
items.add(new SelectItem(rw.getAttribute("UsrUserName").toString().trim() +
"<" +
rw.getAttribute("UsrMailId").toString().trim() +
">",
rw.getAttribute("UsrUserName").toString().trim() +
"<" +
rw.getAttribute("UsrMailId").toString().trim() +
">"));
return items;
Please suggest how can i achieve the mentioned functionality.

Hi,
doesn't work this way as the suggest list returns a single value. You can actually use the existing values as a prefix to the new value in which case the suggest list would look a bit odd. Beside of this all you can do is to create a user lookup field with auto suggest and once a name is selected, update another field with the value returned from this action

Adf AutoSuggest Popup not working properly with af:InputText

Hi,
I have a scenario where I have a inputText box with autoSuggest . Now I need to validate the inputText for having minimum of three characters . I added the af:ValidateLength .The moment I added af:ValidateLength or any customValidator ,the af:autosuggest popup starts behaving weirdly.
For eg:
I enter say two characters in my InputText -> AutoSuggest triggers shows me the suggestList,(press tab) the ValidateLength Validator throws a error msg pop stating "Error:There are too few characters ,enter 3 or more characters".
Now go back to InputText and start entering text ->AutoSuggest triggers shows me the suggestList -> Select a particular value from the suggestlist ,the value gets populated in the InputText but the AutoSuggest popup does not close.The Popup remains there and does not disapper once you select the value.This happens only when I have af:ValidiateLength or any customValidator added to the InputText.
IF I dont add any Validator for the InputText ,the autoSuggest popup closes up fine after selecting a value from the suggestList.
Here is the code I have:
<af:inputText label="#{atkreportingpanepublicuiBundle1['OLabel.Search.QuickSearch']}" id="it1" simple="true"
value="#{pageFlowScope.treeModel.searchCriteria}"
autoSubmit="true">
<af:autoSuggestBehavior suggestedItems="#{pageFlowScope.treeModel.getSuggestionList}" maxSuggestedItems="10"></af:autoSuggestBehavior>
<af:validateLength minimum="3"/>
</af:inputText>
And In my bean I do :
public List getSuggestionList(String inputKey){
List<SelectItem> filteredChilds = new ArrayList<SelectItem>();
rootNodes = fetchfilteredCatalogData(rootNodes); //Do some manipulation and generate this ArrayList of values to be compared with
if(rootNodes != null) {
for (ItemInfo info : rootNodes) {
String caption = info.getCaption().toLowerCase();
String key = keyword.toLowerCase();
if(caption.startsWith(key)) {
filteredChilds.add(new SelectItem(info.getCaption()));
} else {
System.out.println("No matching values found for TypeAheadlist inputKey");
return filteredChilds;
Is this is a known issue where auto-suggest under InputText with af:Validator behave weird or can something be done to overcome this scenario.Kindly suggest.

Hi Timo,
Thank you for the code suggestion.But Timo say I dont type anything in my InputText and validate for empty String . I have "Go Button" in the page that does that.Basically its a search page with a InputText along with autoSuggest and with a 'Go"Button.
Now the suggested Code will return me the msg "Type in three or more characters.." when I type in less than 3 characters.
In order to Validate for empty String in InputText (i.e Validate if InputText value is null) , I believe I would have to make the required property of the InputText to true.
If I do that and check,
I click the "Go" button it validates and throws the default "error" message in the pop-up.
Now I go back to and start Typing a keyword -> after 2 characters the auto-Suggest list throws up the suggestionList.
Now I select the Value from the SuggestList ,it populates the InputText with the value I selected from SuggestList but the SuggestList popup does not close after selection.This seems to be the issue.
Whenever any Validation is done on InputText ,the SuggestionList popup does not close on Selection a Value from it.
How to overcome this scenario.

Af:column af:inputComboboxListOfValues Not Rendering as LOV

I have an updateable af:table UI Component based on a View Object (which is a child of another VO). Both VOs are based on Entities.
There are 3 attributes in the ViewObject the table is based on, that have LOVs defined - with the hint set to Combo Box with List of Values. When I drag the Data Control to my page (fragment) and create the table, the columns in the Structure view show as I expect - i.e. as af:inputComboboxListOfValues components.
However, when I run the page, the table is displayed with these attributes rendered as Input Text fields - the LOV widgets are nowhere to be seen.
Anyone have any idea why that might be please?
I've tried changing the View Link, including / excluding the Key item from the View Object etc.. But no joy. I haven't seen anything similar on this forum either (but sometimes formulating the search is tricky in itself!).
I'm using JDeveloper 11.1.2.1.0.

Closed this - rendering ok, just the width of the table columns was the issue. Thanks anyway. Finding problems where there are none...!

Up & Down arrow key is not working on Table with Editable SelectOnceChoice

Hi,
I am using JDeveloper 11.1.2.0.0 & Tested with HR Schema
Issue Scenario:
I am having a Employee View Object there is field called Departments and it is LOV which is coming from the Department table. I drag and drop a table with all editable components. Now I used a keyboard to set a focus on the Department Field and pressing the down and up arrow it is going for the next and previous rows. Not moving around the drop down items. Once is selected any values for the field then it is working and moving around the drop down items.
This is one of ADA requirement and need to achieve.
Question:
why this behaviour? How can I overcome this?
Can anyone help me regarding this?
Thanks & Regards,
Perumal S

Hi,
I also verified the same in the Oracle Rich Demo Application and find the same behaviour. Please find the URL and steps below,
URL : http://jdevadf.oracle.com/adf-richclient-demo/faces/components/table/clickToEditTable.jspx
Steps:
1. Open a Page
2. By Using the Key Board, select the 'InputComboboxListOfValues' columns
3. Now press the down arrow in the key board, It is not navigate into the Item List. But it is navigate into the Rows of the Table.(Even I pressed a enter key, it is moving to next row)
But I need to navigate the Items of SelectOnceChoice even if it is in table.
Thanks & Regards,
Perumal S

AF:AUTOSUGGESTBEHAVIOR available in AF:QUERY

hi, the question is : when will AF:AUTOSUGGESTBEHAVIOR be available with AF:QUERY. Guess there is a Bug 12769579 (enhancement request) already raised for this.
want to understand when would this be implemented and released with what version of ADF/JDeveloper.

Hi Ashish, Actually what i am querying is: does af:query support af:Autosuggestbehavior (which may be on ViewController side and not necessarily on Model side), if not when would it be available.
Hi Vinay, 2 questions for you. Please suggest.
1) I just got this url "http://support.oracle.com" for Bug 12769579. where do i check if this bug is released and in what version.
2) how do i close this thread? i am a newbie to this forum.
Thanks.
