I have an example app for field assist that should be beefed up and released for 3.2. It exercises all the various combinations of function (explicit keystroke invoke, auto-invoke, different kinds of decorations, etc.). However the target dialog itself is really dumb (username/password fields), and should be beefed up to contain a more realistic example with decorations on fields other than text.
It would be nice to combine aspects of the field assist example (the preferences that let you control required field emphasis, configure content proposals, etc.) with a dialog that uses data binding. Boris - it appears that the data binding examples are table-oriented. If you guys had a simple dialog that edited one of your Person objects, I could adapt that to use field assist rather than have to release a separate example. (perhaps in the M5 timeframe.)
Created attachment 34357 [details] Field Assist Example JAR field assist example as of 20060208, attached here to share with others before it goes into builds.
assigning to M6. See also bug #120238 (we should use the prescribed visuals in the example vs. the dummy ones I did.)
- preference page should be updated to reflect new API for filteringStyle - recheck that all other API is exercised.
- allow specification of delay for content proposal popup in pref page

Waiting on bug #128720 to get this into builds.
example should show other widgets, too. At least a combo, if not spinner, etc.
Comment on attachment 35079 [details] Field Assist Example JAR Attachment marked obsolete as the example is now available in CVS
- Released into CVS and updated map file. - Updated buildDoc.xml to include the example doc - Updated topicsSamples.xml to include the example - contacted releng to update the SDK examples feature and testManifest.xml The following has been added to the example: - Preferences broken up into two pages - field assist example preferences controls use of decorations and color - content assist preferences (subpage) controls content assist settings - All configurable aspects of ContentProposalAdapter are now settable via preferences - Text, combo, and spinner are used to show decorations on different widgets - The visuals proposed in bug #120238 are used in the example - Demonstration of error-specific decoration text
verified on I20060328-0010 - example is in examples zip file - doc is in the examples guide - example performs as expected
