Input help in Adobe Flex

Former Member — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 08:12:15 GMT

Last days I have been following some video tutorials on flex and web dynpro, but I can 't seem to find anything on input help. Is there a way to implement input help in Flex? I want the user to still be able to search the values like in a default search help but I need to make the whole lay-out in Flex.

Regards,

Geert-Jan

Hi Geert-Jan,

you can provide simple input help usinf combobox populated with prefetched values in Flex application.

On creationComplete event you can fetch such values using web/http service hit.

Even you can provide Advance Search option using Pop-up where user can specify primary criteria to fetch further level values.

For invoking popup and then using selected values in main application you can get lots of examples of net.

Even i have used such input helps many times in many applications. So nothing great in this for R&D.

Just make sure of some routines/RFC which can provide you prefetched values for input help or you have to write these simple supportive RFCs for use.

Regards,

Vivek

Hi GJ,

You have a custom Flex component from Adobe to handle autocompletion for input, you can find information, examples with source code [here|http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&extid=1047291]

Kind regards,
