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

Posted on Aug 18, 2016 at 08:09 AM 253 Views

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,

    Chandan

      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.
