GenerateAutoComplete

Suggest-Box or AutoComplete: It works like a combo box but pulls the data via AJAX from the database while you are typing. It is a great solution for referenced entities that contain too many records (~>75) for a normal combo box.

• generateAutoComplete : the Element name to use to generate the AutoComplete
• element : ID of the entry field the AutoComplete is attached to
• requestname : the Web-Request to execute
• fill : Parameter(s) for the WebRequest
  • from : name of the field the parameter value comes from, OR
  • fromvalue : a fix value that should be used as parameter value
  • to : name of the parameter
• fillField : special Parameter(s) for the WebRequest : generates 3 Parameters(webFindName,webFindValue,WebFindOper) used in our FindBrowses for FindFields
  • value  : name of the field the webFindValue parameter comes from, OR
  • value2 : a fix value that should be used as webFindValue parameter
  • operator : search operator to be used for webFindOper ( defaults to '%')
  • (text node) : copied to webFindName
• return : the response field(s) that are used
  • from : name of the response field
  • to : name of the field in the webpage to receive the response value
