Hi all, in my project I'm using NSControlTextEditingDelegate to auto complete what's typed in a NSTextField with search location suggestions retrieved from Google Maps API. "complete:" message is automatically sent to field editor by a NSTimer short after user ends typing.
Now I'd like to fine-tune the behavior of auto-completion and have it working exactly as Google search text field works in Safari: 1) When two or more words (separated by spaces) are typed in NSTextField, location for NSRange passed in - (NSArray *)control:(NSControl *)control textView:(NSTextView *)textView completions:(NSArray *)words forPartialWordRange:(NSRange)charRange indexOfSelectedItem:(NSInteger *)index starts after the last space typed. This means that if user types "San Fran" and Google APIs returns "San Francisco", choosing it from auto-complete list NSTextField value is replaced with "San San Francisco". My current workaround consist in rebuilding NSArray containing completion and returning only part of the actual completions returned by Google API, depending on charRange.location. This looks crappy (because auto-completion list now shows only part of the completion string), so I want to have NSTextField ignore spaces when requesting auto-completion. 2) Choosing an auto completion from list, default NSTextField action is not sent. At the moment user need to choose an auto completion and then press enter to trigger search. This happens because in IB I chose to send action on enter only. This is the expected behavior for user not choosing a completion, but I want action sent on auto-completion. Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
