Summary

Before You Begin

  • In order to complete this exercise, you should have completed all the preceding exercises.

...

The AutoComplete weblet provides suggestions while you type into the field. The suggestions are provided by a WebRoutine using Ajax. 

A sourceWrName property defines a called WebRoutine, which supports the AutoComplete weblet by returning a list as JSON data. The WebRoutine must have a Response(*JSON) keyword. The weblet calls this WebRoutine when you type into the input box.

A listName, labelField and ValueField define the list of values that the AutoComplete weblet displays.

Note

Note: The AutoComplete weblet in this exercise will display matching department codes by reading the file DEPTAB using Generic(*yes). This provides a simple introduction to implementing this weblet, but does not provide a realistic example. Since the file DEPTAB has a very small number of records a complete list of values shown in a combo box would be a better implementation. You will also use the Dynamic List Box that was part of the previous exercise.
