提前输入Call XPages对话框

Question

is it possible to call a Dialog component in typeAhead functionality? What i want to do is If the user enter a word which does not come up with typeAhead function then a dialog should appear on the screen. Please find my code below (my dialog is in custom control)

Answer 1

You can hijack the result of the typeahead and call your dialog if it's empty by using this snippet:

Answer 2

I don't have Domino Designer at hand right now so I can't try this out. So this is just guessing:

I don't think that you can use the standard Edit Box control's type ahead feature for something like that; instead you could program this yourself using the control's "onkeyup" event, mimicking the standard type ahead. the idea is that a classic type-ahead operates as a filter to a list of possible entries, just like a "getElementsByKey" method that is fired upon each key stroke. So with every event you check what's in the Edit Box so far, compare it to your list, then display the filtered result to the user in a pop-up (you may want to use a dojo tooltip here).

If the result is null you can bring up your dialog instead.
