Properties of the AUTOSUGGEST Object (Adelia Web Context)

Authorizes execution of 4GL code placed in the ONSUGGEST event processing block. If the value is set to *TRUE, then the Autosuggest object is in automatic results list processing mode: the 4GL code placed in the ONSUGGEST block is not run.

Defines the size of the Autosuggest object cache (in number of results list elements). If the size is 0, then cache management is disabled.

Assigns the object a class containing various presentation characteristics.

Defines a selection criterion to apply when calculating the results list.

The choice of criterion influences cache management performance: this latter is less efficient with the "ends with" criterion as it is impossible to drill down the search based on characters entered (e.g.: "a", then "ab").

If the user wishes to define his/her own selection criterion, he/she simply configures the object in manual results list calculation mode (set the AUTOMATIC_MODE property to *FALSE) and implement his/her own search algorithm.

Allows to assign a specific value-related text to an element in the list.

Allows to manage the list (add, modify an element, browse the list, etc.).

Allows to define whether the Autosuggest object is enabled.

Defines a results list footer value-related text. This footer can either be a text, or an HTML fragment. It is displayed at the bottom of the results list.

Defines a results list header value-related text. This header can either be a text, or an HTML fragment. It is displayed above the first item in the results list.

Defines the CSS class used to distinguish the selected element in the results list.

Defines the CSS style class used to display each element in the results list. It is used only for an object in Combo mode.

Value present in the entry field.

When processing the ONSUGGEST event, if the MORE_ELEMENTS property has been set to *TRUE, then this property must possess a value identifying the last element added to the results list (e.g.: this element's rank in the associated list, its value, its value-related text, or any other value used to identify this element).

If the ONSUGGEST event is triggered by a click on the text, indicating that other values exist (see the MAXIMUM_RESULT property), then the value of the property is that assigned when processing the ONSUGGEST event that generated the results list.

List of elements.

Defines the CSS style class applied to the results list container (DIV tag).

Defines a maximum height for displaying the results list. This height is defined by a value followed by a unit (e.g.: "120px", "200em"). When the actual list height is greater than its maximum height, then a vertical scrollbar is displayed to the right of the list elements.

Defines a width for displaying the results list. This width is defined by a value followed by a unit (e.g.: "120px", "200em").

Defines the maximum number of result values returned. This property prevents excessive numbers of results. If this number is set to -1, all possible values are returned. If this number is possible, then a text indicating that there are other values is shown at the bottom of the results list. Clicking this text displays the other results by triggering an ONSUGGEST event. This text can be internationalized.

Defines the minimum number of characters entered by the user beyond which the Autosuggest object triggers a request for result values.

When processing the ONSUGGEST event, this property must possess the value *TRUE if there is at least one other element meeting the selection criterion but that is not part of the results list, when the maximum number of elements in this list has been reached (see the MAXIMUM_RESULT property).

Prevents the keyboard being used to enter text in the Autosuggest object.

Value of the Autosuggest object.
