Rational: As it stands now, it takes a long time to build an XForm document. If
we enable auto complete, then that will both enhance user experience as well as
speed up the form building process.
Details: Auto complete (OO.o completes or lists possible completions) in the
condition window would be VERY helpful. An example of an auto complete might be
if your instance data had two existing nodes called /MainForm/Information/Type
and /MainForm/Information/Style where you wanted to write an XPath expression
using the first node, OO.o would help. As you typed /MainForm/In OO.o would
then provide the completion option, namely, /Information. When and where OO.o
might do this is described below.
Steps to perform enhancement:
Open a new XForm
File
New
XML Form Document
Ensure form control toolbar is enabled:
View
Toolbars
Form controls
Ensure form design toolbar is enabled:
View
Toolbars
Form design
Ensure XML Data Navigator window is enabled:
Withing Form design toolbar toggle on XML data navigator using icon
Populate instance data in XML data navigator
Click the instance tab in XML data navigator
Highlight the first instance
Click to add element or add attribute
. . . Add a few . . .
Set a condition
Highlight the first instance
Click to edit element
In the window that comes up, select any options under the settings section,
say "Calculate"
Checkbox the calculate option and then click the calculate condition button
This brings up the add condition window
Specify condition and expect OO.o to autocomplete our typings
In this window there are two sections: Condition and Result
In the Condition section, type /MainForm/In and wait for a few seconds
In the Result section of this window I should see my various options such
as /Information
If I press the tab button on my keyboard, OO.o would complete the entry in
the condition window to read /MainForm/Information.
As I continue to type an extra slash, /MainForm/Information/, OO.o displays
in the Result window /MainForm/Information/Type and /MainForm/Information/Style.
As I continue to type an extra S, then OO.o displays in the Result window
/Style.
If I press the tab button on my keyboard, OO.o would complete the entry in
the condition window to read /MainForm/Information/Style.
Note: This autocompletion is not a new concept but used in the UNIX shell
environment, the Cisco router environment, and other environments. It is very
helpful.
