Hi,
thanks for your answer.
No, solution didn't work as supposed, mainly because the AutoComplete fills
the input field in the browser with the data (in my case either zipcode or
city), but doesn't update the model.
To update the model I have to attach some Ajax...Behavior, but this is
called with the data put into the textfield (i.e. either the selected
zipcode put into the zipcode field by the autocomplete, *or* the selected
city from the city field). In the Ajax...Behavior's onUpdate()-method
neither the city nor the zipcode are enough to determine the value to use to
update the related field.
So I had two other ideas:
1. in my autocomplete-list I set the "textvalue" to the id of a
"zipcode-city" combination. When the user selects from the
autocomplete-list, this id is written into the corresponding input-field.
The attached AjaxOnChangeBehavior now gets this id, determines the
zipcode-city, and updates the city and the zipcode field. This works, but
looks a little strange to the user (e.g. selection of "71254 Ditzingen" from
autocomplete-list writes the id ("1223") into the zipcode-field, this issues
the Ajax-call, which updates both fields with the correct data, i.e.
zipcode=71254, city=Ditzingen). As I said, works but not pretty.
2. So I'm currently extended the AutoCompleteTextField, ...Renderer,
...Behavior, ..JavaScript to accept a second, "related" field in its
constructor. I then attach two attributes to the autocomplete-list entries
(say textvalue and textvalue2), and modified the JavaScript to update both
fields. This seems to me the best approach to my specific problem, and seems
to work as intended.
Hope my answer was not to confusing...
regards,
Oliver
