Is there any way to provide the listener for the selected item for the autosuggested list as I need the selected item label and also value?

Any reference or any working example is really helpful.

This looks like exactly what I’ve been looking for. I’m curious which version of JDeveloper you are using for this “Auto Suggest” feature..? I have JDev 11.1.1.1.0 installed and it doesn’t seem to know aboutÂ this behaviour.

Yes, the suggested items can also come from a ViewObject instance. For model-driven list there is a suggestItems property to the list bindings on the ADFm. In general the suggestedItems attribute of the autoSuggestBehavior needs to be bounded to a method with signature List.

There is an article on OTN on that topic: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/howtos/autosuggest/explaining_autosuggestbehavior.htm

Nice! Could the suggestedItems come from a ViewObject too? Declaratively might be difficult I suppose. Taking your example – we might not want to force the user to choose the country from our own list, as per an LOV (in case it is incomplete), but feed the suggested items from, say, a union between names in our “countries” ref table and those already entered by other users.
