Add suggestions:List<String> to TextInput
-----------------------------------------
Key: PIVOT-330
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-330
Project: Pivot
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: wtk
Reporter: Todd Volkert
Fix For: 1.5
Proposal to add the following API to TextInput:
public List<String> getSuggestions();
public void setSuggestions(List<String> suggestions);
When the suggestions list was non-null, the text input skin would be
responsible for showing the suggestions to the user. The default skin would
display a popup underneath the text input, with a list view of the suggestions
in the popup. The user could then use the down arrow and tab or click to
select a suggestion, thus populating the text of the text input.
It would always be left up to the application to manage the suggestions list
(update it, set it, or clear it) based on application-level logic -- the skin
would always present the suggestion list if it were there.
Applications could combine this feature with the Java preferences API to store
historical form data and provide behavior akin to browser form behavior.
