Hello all,

I have a pretty basic problem to solve, but I'm stuck with a "no-solution" and would ne happy to get hints from the list.

I would like to write a "searchable grid" component. It's a plain T5 grid, with a first line made of textdields, instrumented with autocomplete mixins. When one types in something in a textfield, the autocompleter provides him with the relevant values in the columns, a very classical behavior.

Now I rewrote the Grid.tml to add this table line. The cellList property is just the getGridModel().getPropertyNames(), and T5 is happy, it generates my first line without any problem. The only problem I have, is that I cant set the names or the ids of the generated textfields. The series of generated textfields have ids "textfield" "textfield_0" "textfield_1", etc... , and the same goes for the names. Anyway, even if I could generate them, I'm not sure it would solve my problem.

When I try to link them to my autocomplete mixin callback, things get worse. I tried on a simple case, with a 2 columns grid. I added the following method to my component class :
   @OnEvent(value="providecompletions",component="textfield")
   List<String> autoCompleteId(String input) {
       logger.info("Providing completions for textfield") ;
       return new ArrayList<String>() ;
   }
@OnEvent(value="providecompletions",component="textfield_0")
   List<String> autoComplete0(String input) {
       logger.info("Providing completions for textfield_0") ;
       return new ArrayList<String>() ;
   }

But this second method is never called, the "textfield_0" textfield calls the first method, not the second one.

Bytheway, I have another problem, that is a T5 textfield wants to be included in a form, and it bothers me to put an eclosing form component in that grid, bound to be used in other forms itself. So any hint on a workaround here would be also appreciated.

I think I'm in a dead end here, and I'm not sure where to go next. So any kind of hint would be much appreciated.

Here is the relevant part my TML for SearchableGrid.tml :

   <table t:id="table">
       <thead t:id="columns"/>

       <tbody>

           <tr>
               <t:form>
               <t:loop source="cellList" value="cell">
                   <t:if test="action">
                       <td>
                           <t:submit t:id="search"/>
                       </td>
                       <t:parameter name="else">
                           <td>
<t:textfield t:name="prop:cell" t:value="prop:cell" t:mixins="autocomplete"/>
                           </td>
                       </t:parameter>
                   </t:if>
               </t:loop>
               </t:form>
           </tr>

           <tr t:id="rows"/>
</tbody>
   </table>
