drop down with auto complete feature

[Former Member]

hi all,

to fulfill my project requirement, i need to put <b>a drop down with auto completing feature.</b> i mean to say, i am using a drop down.... whenever i enter the first letter in drop down all the corresponding values should be there leaving remaining values( for examplet if i enter "a" in drop down all the corresponding names starting with a remain there in the list), if i enter the second letter then all the values which start with the two letters should be there leaving all other..... i mean to say the drop down should short list the display names when i enter the letters in drop down.

is there any facility in web dynpro to do that?

it is AUTO COMPLETE feature.....

please help me out in this regard.

The "suggest" feature will be avaible with the new AJAX client in NW 7.2.

Yes entire feature you can't achieve.But in the filter of EVS if you enter first few characters, you will get the list of matching pattern.

Dear Monalisa,

could you please provide me the generalized code for EVS. How to implement it when we want to populate the EVS from a BAPI using Adaptive RFC

This can't be done with drop down UI element.Using EVS you can achieved this feature.

Monalisa,

This can't be done with EVS/OVS either -- one has to create custom JavaScript functions to make auto-complete functionality, and this is unsupported by WD.

Hi pradeep,

Autocomplete Drop Down is a Jscript functionality (or something like Active Widgets). WD doesn't accept Jscript. So I think it's no possible.
