AutoCompleteTextField

[NiranjanShah]

Hello, We would like to use the attached AutoCompleteTextField in the form. Kindly guide how to use it

PS: We are new in tornadofx, so possibly we would be using wrong way, kindly guide class AutoCompleteTextField : TextField() { /* The existing autocomplete entries. / /**

• Get the existing set of autocomplete entries.

• @return The existing autocomplete entries. */ val entries: SortedSet /* The popup used to select an entry. / private val entriesPopup: ContextMenu

  /* Construct a new AutoCompleteTextField. / init { entries = TreeSet() entriesPopup = ContextMenu() textProperty().addListener { observableValue, s, s2 -> if (text.length == 0) { entriesPopup.hide() } else { val searchResult = LinkedList() searchResult.addAll(entries.subSet(text, text + Character.MAX_VALUE)) if (entries.size > 0) { populatePopup(searchResult) if (!entriesPopup.isShowing) { entriesPopup.show(this@AutoCompleteTextField, Side.BOTTOM, 0.0, 0.0) } } else { entriesPopup.hide() } } }

  focusedProperty().addListener { observableValue, aBoolean, aBoolean2 -> entriesPopup.hide() }

  }

  /**

• Populate the entry set with the given search results. Display is limited to 10 entries, for performance.

• @param searchResult The set of matching strings. */ private fun populatePopup(searchResult: List) { val menuItems = LinkedList() // If you'd like more entries, modify this line. val maxEntries = 10 val count = Math.min(searchResult.size, maxEntries) for (i in 0 until count) { val result = searchResult[i] val entryLabel = Label(result) val item = CustomMenuItem(entryLabel, true) item.onAction = EventHandler { text = result entriesPopup.hide() } menuItems.add(item) } entriesPopup.items.clear() entriesPopup.items.addAll(menuItems)

  }

When use in the form, it says too many arguments for public constructor init { with(root) { form { fieldset("Edit person") { field("Name") { AutoCompleteTextField { etName = this

                    }
                }

            }
        }
    }

The code you posted is kind of a mess, with code and comments intertwined, but as far as I can see, you have created a class called AutoCompleteTextfield and want to add that to a form. You only have a noargs constructor in your class, so you could have do instantiate it and then do the binding manually:

val tf = AutoCompleteTextField()
add(tf)
tf.textProperty().bind(yourProperty)
