Overview

This string control has a programmable list of keywords that it searches through to autocomplete as you type. It also can programmatically split up keyword searches using various delimiters such as spaces and commas.

Description

I submitted this example a while ago to the proper Developer Zone examples, but I thought it would be a good one to resubmit to this online community. I really hope someone gets some good use out of this.Take a look at the example. It's basicly just a string control, but you can use property nodes and invoke nodes to change a list of keywords that the control attempts to search for and autocomplete as you type. As with other autocompletion fields, the autocompleted portion is highlighted so you can continue typing if it isn't what you want. You can also hit tab to accept the autocompletion and move on. Enjoy!
