Description

 
AutoComplete should allow for the completion of multiple words. Multiple words should be based on a "seperatorChar" property. This facilitiates use cases like completing individual words in a comma seperated list of values.

The solution provided by David seems to be a clean way of handling multi-word completion. If you do not have control over the webservice, you could intercept it by having your own PageMethod and manipulating the input in the textbox before it is sent over. Even though this is a server side solution, it still fully serves the scenario end to end.

You really can't *closely* approximate this on the server. In the AJAX world we can't assume that we have control of the service. It also forces the service to be tightly coupled to a single implementation (e.g. I can't have to AJAX clients with different seperator characters). In short, we should not be trying to solve client problems on the server. Seperation of concerns and all that :).

This can be closely approximated with the existing (10301) AutoComplete and a bit of work in the Web Service: http://blogs.msdn.com/delay/archive/2007/03/30/autocomplete-how-to-create-a-multi-word-auto-complete-text-box.aspx.

This is a great improvment to this control. Nice work Tim, I sure would love to see this added to Atlas Control Toolkit.

Tim Shakarian has a suggested fix for this:

Sorry for dupe it looks like server is getting an error on the attachment. I'll host on my blog: http://blog.tshak.net.

Attaching updated version of control which has a new property "MultiWordSeperator" which allows for a seperator string. This implementation allows the user add new words or go back to previous words and still get autocomplete (IE7 and FF1.5+ only, but does not break IE6).
