sap.m.SelectDialog search doesn't fire on open

[Former Member]

I have a sap.m.Input that opens a sap.m.SelectDialog, passing a search string as so:

valueHelpRequest: function () {

                                   oSelectDialog1.open(sap.ui.getCore().getElementById("SyncSiteDataSite1").getValue());

                               }

when the search dialog opens, the search string is populated with the content of the Input, as I would expect, but the search doesn't actually fire - it is necessary to click the search icon to filter the items in the SelectDialog. Is this by design or is something broken ?

Either way how can I force the filter to be applied as soon as the SelectDialog opens ?

The pictures show the SelectDialog after it has opened and after the search button is pressed. "iel" is the string from the Input.

Sai,

It certainly will !

It was the fireSearch I was missing:

valueHelpRequest: function () {

              oSelectDialog2.open(sap.ui.getCore().getElementById("SyncSiteDataSite2").getValue());

              var oDialogDOM = oSelectDialog2.$();

              var oSearchFieldDOM = oDialogDOM.find('.sapMSF');

              var oSFID = oSearchFieldDOM[0].id;

              var oSearchField = sap.ui.getCore().byId(oSFID);

              oSearchField.fireSearch();

          }

It works now . Thanks !

Hi,

you can use LiveChange on Search  - JsDoc Report - SAP UI development Toolkit for HTML5 - API Reference - sap.m.SearchField

This event is fired when the value of the search field is changed by a user.

Thanks,

I already tried that but it doesn't help - LiveChange doesn't fire when the SelectDialog opens. You have to actually type something else in the search box to make LiveChange fire, which is no better than just clicking search.
