Search value changed
Triggering event – Abstract
This is triggered in selection fields (Combobox) as soon as the search term has been changed. The current string in the input area is then available as input data ($input).
This is triggered in selection fields (Combobox) as soon as the search term has been changed. The current string in the input area is then available as input data ($input).
►NOTE◄
The trigger reacts immediately to every keystroke that changes the string in the search area, so that when a string is typed, the behaviour and any actions triggered are triggered more frequently. Alternatively, if more extensive keyboard input needs to be processed, a 'debounce' should be configured via the Execute later once (ms) parameter. For details, see Behaviours or Changed.
In contrast to input in text fields, the search text entered is not available for evaluation by behaviours (e.g. Filled, Filled with or Compare with (Form designer)), as these behaviours evaluate the input of the element – i.e. the key value behind any existing selection in the dropdown – and not the search text entered.
Example
Write the search text in another text field.
The search text of the combobox (1) is written in the text field Search text (2).
The following image shows the configuration of the example shown above.
The search term (event data) is available as input data ($input), since this is passed on to the actions by the Behaviour ‘Static true’.
