Re: [platform-swt-dev] autocomplete in swt

Hi,

I didn't know that this autocomplete API was public. According to the JavaDocs it has been made public in Eclipse 3.0.

Actually the class you were referring to seems to be in the
org.eclipse.ui.contentassist package of the
org.eclipse.ui.workbench.texteditor. The good news that it's NOT in the
org.eclipse.ui.ide plugin so you can use it in RCP applications. But on
the other hand I don't think that you can use it in plain SWT
applications. And the
org.eclipse.jface.contentassist.SubjectControlContentAssistant class is
in the JFace plugin.

Regards,
Robert

Hi Andrei Medan,

Use the subject control content assistant

org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Text.ContentAssistHandler class has the following
method

createHandlerForText(Text text, ISubjectControlContentAssistant
contentAssistant).

Where U have to pass the text field U have created and ur content assistant
processor has to implement the ISubjectControlContentAssistProcessor
interface for the providing the auto completion.


Here is how to add the completion processor to the text.

        ISubjectControlContentAssistProcessor completionProcessor = new
YourAutoCompletionProcessor();

        SubjectControlContentAssistant subjectControlContentAssistant = new
SubjectControlContentAssistant();


subjectControlContentAssistant.setContentAssistProcessor(completionProcessor
, IDocument.DEFAULT_CONTENT_TYPE);

        //enable auto activation
        subjectControlContentAssistant.enableAutoActivation (true);
        subjectControlContentAssistant.setAutoActivationDelay(500);

        subjectControlContentAssistant.enableAutoInsert(true);
        subjectControlContentAssistant.enablePrefixCompletion(false);


subjectControlContentAssistant.setProposalPopupOrientation(IContentAssistant
.CONTEXT_INFO_ABOVE);


ContentAssistantHandler.createHandlerForText(fConditionText,subjectControlCo
ntentAssistant);


Hope this help U out for start off.

With regards
P.Marimuthu
