JavaFX with ControlsFX #2 : Auto Complete TextField

This video explains how to give the normal JavaFX TextField power of auto completion. ControlsFX provides 'TextFields' class to bind a list of values to a TextField.
I have used org.controlsfx.control.textfield.TextFields to bind set of Java Keywords with TextField for auto completing java keywords.

Oh, my friend, thank you so much, I've trying other examples for a while and no one of them worked 'til I came here to watch your video (sorry for my english :) )

[@mayurpatel481]

your tutorials are awesome man.. keep uploading more. waiting for more controlfx videos!!

[@brockkick188]

I have a class APerson, which is loaded from the database. Fathers, Mothers, Spouses. At present I have three ComboBoxes without Autocomplete, and it is working fine. I want to change it to ComboBox with autocomplete, so that the search for a particular name becomes easier. I use Scene Builder to design my screen. If I create the Combo Box in my controller, then the placement in the screen becomes a problem. Alternatively, I can create a Custom Control UI. For some reason, custom control creation keeps giving error, though I have done it earlier for a NUMERIC INPUT of a certain length, which works perfectly. I moved from JDK 8 to JDK 10, and from Netbeans to Eclipse, because Netbeans would not work with JDK 10. Can you suggest a solution ? Thanks in advance.

How to style results of autocompletion?

[@kirtikirti451]

If textfield height is more, suggestion box doesn't come below textfield. it is shown in between of textfield.. Any settings to be made to adjust the offset of suggestion box?
please help

[@keithscull8288]

My god that is EASY. I remember in Swing an enormous PlainDocument class that still didn't work as well as this

[@devangsharma6418]

Function bindAutoComplete is not taking the second parameter as string. Also the initializable is showing as non acessible api. Help me.

[@lumpi04300]

got a question there mate, i have a huge amount of different possible words (adresses) and the scrolling menu is over sizes :/ do you know if i can set a number of words max to display and then scroll ? thx and great vid !

[@diamondmine360]

Hmm... You could try pre-cutting the addresses prior to having them appear, just cutting down string length to max number and THEN adding it to list, but this can be viewed as very inefficient. Sorry, that's all I got.

I am getting error in console at javafx.fxml/javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader.loadImpl(Unknown Source) and java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/controlsfx/control/textfield/TextFields
How to solve this

[@oci96734]

I tried this, but it doesn't list only those options that start with the typed letters. So 'a' will result in 'apple', 'aardvark' and 'can', not just the first two. Anyway to just have it match the first letters?

[@brianwsmithers]

I may be 7 years too late but here’s an idea. You could make 26 different arrays that coincide with each letter of the alphabet. You’d use a switch case to determine which array to use based off the first letter of the word that you input. The array with the first letter would be put into that method and then you’d get your expected words.

How about css of items

[@nicolaschavez8841]

[@richardgohcr]

Hi is there a way to edit the suggestion box to appear as a list ABOVE the textfield instead?

[@Simomajola1]

Hi richard did you get this ?

[@zsigatibor359]

Hi! It seems to me that the autocomplete doesn't work if there is promt text. Can you solve this problem? Btw the feature is awesome and niche! Thanks for developing it!

[@keithscull8288]

This may have been fixed, as I have prompt-text in my JFXTextField and this works fine with org.controls.fx repository version 9.0 :
repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/controlsfx/controlsfx/9.0.0/

How to use this Auto with database?

[@adrianflores6585]

asking real questions here!!

[@adrianflores6585]

You have to retrieve the result of database as a list or collection.

[@Aoubaker]

Adrian Flores thank you so much bro, I will try it

[@KayoleKnight]

I was to ask the same.... How do you make autocomplete suggest only from a column in the database..... Kindly help me

[@KayoleKnight]

Adrian Flores bro how do I do that

[@muhammadmusharaf4705]

Sir..
Can you make a tutorial doing this same Auto complete in Java netbeans?

[@atoivan]

pls how do you autocomplete from database

[@cgme7076]

I feel like as long as you can get the strings from your database (e.g., usernames), you can simply add them to an array with a foreach loop and it will have the same effect.

[@dragonlai1083]

If I have million possible words, could I use this code?

[@GenuineCoder]

You shouldn't. This component will be slow for such a huge dataset. You will have to implement a custom autocomplete textview component that takes from database or something like that.

[@dragonlai1083]

Genuine Coder Genuine Coder thx! I have MySQL date. But I don’t know how to use this database to implement auto complete List

[@dragonlai1083]
