Hi all,

I was able to auto populate a string field in order to get right suggestions using addOnkeyPress,
I need to get the selected value so I call the changeAutocomplete() during the OnChange field event

but in the alert, I get just what the user wrote in the field and not the complete resultSet value of my autocomplete array values.

I need "Matteo" in the alert and not only "m".

var keyPressFcn = function (ext) {

try {

var userInput = Xrm.Page.getControl("tclab_casepriority").getValue();
resultSet = {
results: new Array(),
commands: null
};

var userInputLowerCase = userInput.toLowerCase();

for (i = 0; i < persona.length; i++) {

if (userInputLowerCase === persona[i].name.substring(0, userInputLowerCase.length).toLowerCase()) {
resultSet.results.push({
id: i,
fields: [persona[i].name,persona[i].code
]});
}

}

if (resultSet.results.length > 0) {

ext.getEventSource().showAutoComplete(resultSet);

}

else {

ext.getEventSource().hideAutoComplete();

}}

catch (e) {

console.log(e);
}};

var a = Xrm.Page.getControl("tclab_casepriority");

if (a!=null) {

a.addOnKeyPress(keyPressFcn)

}}
function changeAutocomplete() {

var b = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("tclab_casepriority").getValue();

//This is happening also using getControl method

// var b = Xrm.Page.getControl("tclab_casepriority").getValue();

alert(b);

}

At The end I will need also to do the same thing with the Case Severity field, filtering auto-populate suggestions based on the CasePriority autocomplete field. I think when I will get the right value I would replicate the autocomplete also for the case severity field.

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR SUGGESTIONS

If you are calling this onload please save explicitly before calling your function changeAutocomplete()

Xrm.Page.data.entity.save();

Yes, I am calling the auto complete on load event and the changeAutocomplete function at the field on change. Unfortunately I cannot save without fill every mandatory fields before. It seems like the addonkeypress generate an array windows not attached to the input field, intact onchange happen when I click the suggestions before set the value selected, this is what seems to me. Any advices?
