combobox type ahead with 'any' match

[vraj]

I am new to ext-js and is it possible to have a type assist in combobox which filters the list with items that has the user typed in characters . For example in the "States" combobox if the user types in "Carolina" the list needs to populate "North Carolina" and "South Carolina". Any help is greately appreciated.

if you're using remote, yes, it's easy. local, you'll have to modify the way it filters the store.

I am using local. I have no idea where to modify the filtering code.I tried to override the following
Ext.override(Ext.form.ComboBox, {
onTypeAhead : function(){
}
});
but it is not helping.

Overriddding the doQuery function to pass extra parameter to the filter funtion works.

Ext.override(Ext.form.ComboBox, {
doQuery : function(q, forceAll){
if(q === undefined || q === null){
q = '';
}
var qe = {
query: q,
forceAll: forceAll,
combo: this,
cancel:false
};
if(this.fireEvent('beforequery', qe)===false || qe.cancel){
return false;
}
q = qe.query;
forceAll = qe.forceAll;
if(forceAll === true || (q.length >= this.minChars)){
if(this.lastQuery !== q){
this.lastQuery = q;
if(this.mode == 'local'){
this.selectedIndex = -1;
if(forceAll){
this.store.clearFilter();
}else{
this.store.filter(this.displayField, q, true);
}
this.onLoad();
}else{
this.store.baseParams[this.queryParam] = q;
this.store.load({
params: this.getParams(q)
});
this.expand();
}
}else{
this.selectedIndex = -1;
this.onLoad();
}
}
}
});

This should definitely be an option on the combobox. Should not be necessary to override doQuery to achieve this.

hopefully the 3.0 release would have this option it would be more easy to use than overwrite the combo, maybe with a property like (anymatch:bolean), also thanks for the overwriting code it help me a lot but you need to set typeAhead: false or simply don´t put it so it works fine , thanks "vraj"

Hi, has been implemented it in ext 3.x?

I couldn't find it.

+1, this ought to be built in.

Hi,

I do have a question on this...

I have a list of below values. when the user try to type 'th', it should show the suggested list as 'Vijith, Ajith'. how to do that...?

Vijith
Arun
Ajith
