How does one cause an item matching typed in characters of a combobox to scroll into view?
Details: In relation to an earlier question I asked, AutoCompleteComboBox..., I am attempting to use a Combobox and ListModelList as follows:
1 thru 3 work fine but 4 does not. That is the Combobox does not scroll to the matching item.
I would expect the scrolling to be on the Combobox but looking at javadocs ListModelList has a fireSelectionEvent which speaks of the ability to scroll into view. Or rather it speaks of the default which is not to scroll into view and provides no convenient method to change that. I find it odd that scrolling is on the model not the UI element, Combobox.
I have found the static Client.scrollIntoView(Component cmp) which I attempted as

Help
Combobox c = new Combobox();
c.setModel(customers);
c.addEventListener(Events.ON_CHANGING, new EventListener<InputEvent>(){
@Override
public void onEvent(InputEvent event) throws Exception {
Clients.scrollIntoView(c.getSelectedItem());
}
});
But that does not work.
Help is appreciated. Thank you
Hello kbsimm,
The following example worked:
Zul:
<zk>
<window border="none" apply="pkg$.MasterDetailComposer">
<combobox id="c" autodrop="true"/>
</window>
</zk>
Java:
package pkg$;
import org.zkoss.zk.ui.event.EventListener;
import org.zkoss.zk.ui.event.Events;
import org.zkoss.zk.ui.event.InputEvent;
import org.zkoss.zk.ui.util.Clients;
import org.zkoss.zk.ui.util.GenericForwardComposer;
import org.zkoss.zul.Combobox;
import org.zkoss.zul.ListModelList;
import org.zkoss.zul.Window;
public class MasterDetailComposer extends GenericForwardComposer<Window> {
Combobox c;
private static final long serialVersionUID = 748611244810222881L;
public void doAfterCompose(Window comp) throws Exception {
super.doAfterCompose(comp);
ListModelList<String> itemsListModelList = new ListModelList<>();
itemsListModelList.add("A");
itemsListModelList.add("B");
itemsListModelList.add("C");
c.setModel(itemsListModelList);
c.addEventListener(Events.ON_CHANGING, new EventListener<InputEvent>(){
@Override
public void onEvent(InputEvent event) throws Exception {
Clients.scrollIntoView(c.getSelectedItem());
}
});
}
}

you are using "c.getSelectedItem()" but the selected item of the combobox is not set until actually selected, the scroll keeps going to the old value of the combobox and not the currently suggested value while typing if using the getSelectedItem()... do you have another property of the combobox that would return the currently suggested item of the list ?
if your intention is to draw attention, my recommendation is to start a new thread with your new or similar question, and then add comments to existing threads linking to your new thread. Like this the threads don't get too long and keep their focus on the solution based on the old version back then
