I am writing an application where the user can enter question depend on database the user choose.
After each char I want do give user the current suggestion (it can be in the middle of the word also).

Is it possible to do with this component ?

Thanks

first off nice work on the component. I have to agree though with a previous commenter that it would be good if you put your code in a package structure such as com.jabbypanda.* for the next release. Also, as pointed out previously, the colors for the highlight in the list and the text in the list are hardcoded. I fixed this by changing the hardcoded values at lines 83 and 84 of HighlightListItemRenderer to:

selectionFormat.backgroundColor = HighlightItemList(owner).getStyle(“highlightColor”);
selectionFormat.color = HighlightItemList(owner).getStyle(“highlightTextColor”);

This allows me to change the colors through CSS

You can add custom styles by youself to control those color values at the runtime, just have a look at source code of spark.components.supportClasses.ItemRenderer class to study how it handles custom styles such as ‘rollOverColor’ or ‘contentBackgroundColor’.

I am developing a search input component based on this. If you want to take a look or collaborate: http://github.com/brust/SearchInput

I just want to tell you about two things I had little troubles with. First, one have to reorganize your packages structure in order to use the component in his app. If you modify it to something like “com.jabbypanda.*” it whould be very convenient.

And another thing I have faced is connected with using cyrillic. It seems that RegExp(str,”i”) is not really case insensitive for cyrillic and you will get troubles with highlighting matches. I have fixed that by manually adding few toLowerCase in highlightTexts():

var searchPattern :RegExp = new RegExp(lookupTextValue.toLowerCase(), “gi”);
var firstFoundWordIndex : int = label.toLowerCase().search(searchPattern);

and

var matches : Array = label.toLowerCase().match(searchPattern);

Except this thing everything works very well! One more thing I can mention – it’s not very convenient that highlighting colors are hardcoded.

Thank you!
