The time, in seconds, after the text has changed before requesting suggestions from the IAutoCompleteSource.

In the following example, the delay is changed to 1.5 seconds:

    input.autoCompleteDelay = 1.5;

The default value is 0.5.

The default IStyleProvider for all AutoComplete components. If null, falls back to using TextInput.globalStyleProvider instead.

The default value is null.

The list sub-component.

For internal use in subclasses.

A function used to generate the pop-up list sub-component. The list must be an instance of List. This factory can be used to change properties on the list when it is first created. For instance, if you are skinning Feathers components without a theme, you might use this factory to set skins and other styles on the list.

The function should have the following signature:

function():List

In the following example, a custom list factory is passed to the AutoComplete:

    input.listFactory = function():List
    {
        var popUpList:List = new List();
        popUpList.backgroundSkin = new Image( texture );
        return popUpList;
    };

The default value is null.

An object that stores properties for the auto-complete's pop-up list sub-component, and the properties will be passed down to the pop-up list when the auto-complete validates. For a list of available properties, refer to feathers.controls.List.

If the subcomponent has its own subcomponents, their properties can be set too, using attribute @ notation. For example, to set the skin on the thumb which is in a SimpleScrollBar, which is in a List, you can use the following syntax:

list.verticalScrollBarProperties.@thumbProperties.defaultSkin = new Image(texture);

Setting properties in a listFactory function instead of using listProperties will result in better performance.

In the following example, the list properties are passed to the auto complete:

    input.listProperties.backgroundSkin = new Image( texture );

The default value is null.

See also

The default value added to the styleNameList of the pop-up list. This variable is protected so that sub-classes can customize the list style name in their constructors instead of using the default style name defined by DEFAULT_CHILD_STYLE_NAME_LIST.

To customize the pop-up list name without subclassing, see customListStyleName.

The minimum number of entered characters required to request suggestions from the IAutoCompleteSource.

In the following example, the minimum number of characters is changed to 3:

    input.minimumAutoCompleteLength = 3;

The default value is 2.

See also

The source of the suggestions that appear in the pop-up list.

In the following example, a source of suggestions is provided:

    input.source = new LocalAutoCompleteSource( new VectorCollection(new <String>
    [
        "Apple",
        "Banana",
        "Cherry",
        "Grape",
        "Lemon",
        "Orange",
        "Watermelon"
    ]));

The default value is null.

Constructor.

Closes the pop-up list, if it is open.

Creates and adds the list sub-component and removes the old instance, if one exists.

Meant for internal use, and subclasses may override this function with a custom implementation.
