How to build rich:HtmlSuggestionBox dynamically

[mores]

I am pretty close to gettting this working.
My drop down is not displaying the text of the selection, can anyone see the error ?

org.apache.myfaces.component.html.ext.HtmlInputText searchBox =
 new org.apache.myfaces.component.html.ext.HtmlInputText();
 searchBox.setId( "inputQuery" );
 bar.getChildren().add( searchBox );

 org.richfaces.component.html.HtmlSuggestionBox suggestions =
 new org.richfaces.component.html.HtmlSuggestionBox();
 suggestions.setId( "sugg" );
 suggestions.setFor( "inputQuery" );
 suggestions.setTokens( ",[" );
 suggestions.setRules( "none" );

 javax.faces.el.MethodBinding mb = app.createMethodBinding( "#{suggestionBox.autocomplete}", new Class[] { Object.class } );
 suggestions.setSuggestionAction( mb );
 suggestions.setVar( "result" );

 javax.faces.el.ValueBinding resultBinding = app.createValueBinding( "#{result.text}" );
 suggestions.setFetchValue( resultBinding );
 suggestions.setRows( 0 );
 suggestions.setFirst( 0 );
 suggestions.setMinChars( "#{suggestionBox.minchars}" );
 suggestions.setShadowOpacity( "4" );
 suggestions.setBorder( "1" );
 suggestions.setWidth( "200" );
 suggestions.setHeight( "150" );
 suggestions.setShadowDepth( "4" );
 suggestions.setCellpadding( "2" );

 org.apache.myfaces.custom.column.HtmlSimpleColumn column =
 new org.apache.myfaces.custom.column.HtmlSimpleColumn();
 column.setId( "col1" );
 org.apache.myfaces.component.html.ext.HtmlOutputText text =
 new org.apache.myfaces.component.html.ext.HtmlOutputText();
 text.setId( "text1" );

 javax.faces.el.ValueBinding vb = app.createValueBinding( "#{result.text}" );
 text.setValueBinding( "results", vb );
 column.getChildren().add( text );
 suggestions.getChildren().add( column );
 bar.getChildren().add( suggestions );

This is now working !

org.apache.myfaces.component.html.ext.HtmlInputText searchBox = new org.apache.myfaces.component.html.ext.HtmlInputText();
 searchBox.setId( "inputQuery" );
 bar.getChildren().add( searchBox );

 org.richfaces.component.html.HtmlSuggestionBox suggestions = new org.richfaces.component.html.HtmlSuggestionBox();
 suggestions.setId( "sugg" );
 suggestions.setFor( "inputQuery" );
 suggestions.setTokens( ",[" );
 suggestions.setRules( "none" );

 javax.faces.el.MethodBinding mb = app.createMethodBinding( "#{suggestionBox.autocomplete}", new Class[] { Object.class } );
 suggestions.setSuggestionAction( mb );
 suggestions.setVar( "result" );

 suggestions.setRows( 0 );
 suggestions.setFirst( 0 );
 suggestions.setMinChars( "#{suggestionBox.minchars}" );
 suggestions.setShadowOpacity( "4" );
 suggestions.setBorder( "1" );
 suggestions.setWidth( "200" );
 suggestions.setHeight( "150" );
 suggestions.setShadowDepth( "4" );
 suggestions.setCellpadding( "2" );

 org.apache.myfaces.custom.column.HtmlSimpleColumn column = new org.apache.myfaces.custom.column.HtmlSimpleColumn();
 column.setId( "col1" );
 org.apache.myfaces.component.html.ext.HtmlOutputText text = new org.apache.myfaces.component.html.ext.HtmlOutputText();
 text.setId( "text1" );

 javax.faces.el.ValueBinding vb = app.createValueBinding( "#{result.text}" );
 text.setValueBinding( "value", vb );
 column.getChildren().add( text );
 suggestions.getChildren().add( column );
 bar.getChildren().add( suggestions );

It looks like you was really close :-)

P.S. I will add this code to the cookbook

[pmariappan]

Can you post entire source code for this componet?

[dreuzel]

code is old and uses obsolete createMethodBinding

Does someone has improved code
