## Class SuggestBox

- java.lang.Object
- - com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.UIObject

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    `IsEditor<LeafValueEditor<java.lang.String>>`, `HasAllKeyHandlers`, `HasKeyDownHandlers`, `HasKeyPressHandlers`, `HasKeyUpHandlers`, `HasAttachHandlers`, `HasSelectionHandlers<SuggestOracle.Suggestion>`, `HasValueChangeHandlers<java.lang.String>`, `HasHandlers`, `EventListener`, `TakesValue<java.lang.String>`, `FiresSuggestionEvents`, `Focusable`, `HasAnimation`, `HasEnabled`, `HasFocus`, `HasText`, `HasValue<java.lang.String>`, `HasVisibility`, `IsRenderable`, `IsWidget`, `SourcesChangeEvents`, `SourcesClickEvents`, `SourcesFocusEvents`, `SourcesKeyboardEvents`

      public class SuggestBox
      extends Composite
      implements HasText, HasFocus, HasAnimation, HasEnabled, SourcesClickEvents, SourcesChangeEvents, SourcesKeyboardEvents, FiresSuggestionEvents, HasAllKeyHandlers, HasValue<java.lang.String>, HasSelectionHandlers<SuggestOracle.Suggestion>, IsEditor<LeafValueEditor<java.lang.String>>

  A `SuggestBox` is a text box or text area which displays a pre-configured set of selections that match the user's input. Each `SuggestBox` is associated with a single `SuggestOracle`. The `SuggestOracle` is used to provide a set of selections given a specific query string.

  By default, the `SuggestBox` uses a `MultiWordSuggestOracle` as its oracle. Below we show how a `MultiWordSuggestOracle` can be configured:

         MultiWordSuggestOracle oracle = new MultiWordSuggestOracle();
         oracle.add("Cat");
         oracle.add("Dog");
         oracle.add("Horse");
         oracle.add("Canary");

         SuggestBox box = new SuggestBox(oracle);

  Using the example above, if the user types "C" into the text widget, the oracle will configure the suggestions with the "Cat" and "Canary" suggestions. Specifically, whenever the user types a key into the text widget, the value is submitted to the `MultiWordSuggestOracle`.

  Note that there is no method to retrieve the "currently selected suggestion" in a SuggestBox, because there are points in time where the currently selected suggestion is not defined. For example, if the user types in some text that does not match any of the SuggestBox's suggestions, then the SuggestBox will not have a currently selected suggestion. It is more useful to know when a suggestion has been chosen from the SuggestBox's list of suggestions. A SuggestBox fires `SelectionEvents` whenever a suggestion is chosen, and handlers for these events can be added using the `addSelectionHandler(SelectionHandler)` method.

        `key` - the widget's access key

    - #### setAnimationEnabled

          @Deprecated
          public void setAnimationEnabled​(boolean enable)

      Deprecated.
      use `SuggestBox.DefaultSuggestionDisplay.setAnimationEnabled(boolean)` instead
      Enable or disable animations in the `SuggestBox.DefaultSuggestionDisplay`. Note that this method is a no-op unless the `SuggestBox.DefaultSuggestionDisplay` is used.
      Specified by:
        `setAnimationEnabled` in interface `HasAnimation`
      Parameters:
        `enable` - true to enable, false to disable

    - #### setAutoSelectEnabled

          public void setAutoSelectEnabled​(boolean selectsFirstItem)

      Turns on or off the behavior that automatically selects the first suggested item. This behavior is on by default.
      Parameters:
        `selectsFirstItem` - Whether or not to automatically select the first suggestion

    - #### setEnabled

          public void setEnabled​(boolean enabled)

      Sets whether this widget is enabled.

        `enabled` - `true` to enable the widget, `false` to disable it

    - #### setFocus

          public void setFocus​(boolean focused)

      Description copied from interface: `Focusable`
      Explicitly focus/unfocus this widget. Only one widget can have focus at a time, and the widget that does will receive all keyboard events. NOTE: Most browsers fire FocusEvents asynchronously. Especially within GWT tests, you'll need to make your test asynchronous to properly do verifications. See `GWTTestCase#delayTestFinish` for more information on how to do this.
      Specified by:
        `setFocus` in interface `Focusable`
      Parameters:
        `focused` - whether this widget should take focus or release it

    - #### setLimit

          public void setLimit​(int limit)

      Sets the limit to the number of suggestions the oracle should provide. It is up to the oracle to enforce this limit.
      Parameters:
        `limit` - the limit to the number of suggestions provided

    - #### setPopupStyleName

          @Deprecated
          public void setPopupStyleName​(java.lang.String style)

      Deprecated.
      use `SuggestBox.DefaultSuggestionDisplay.setPopupStyleName(String)` instead
      Sets the style name of the suggestion popup in the `SuggestBox.DefaultSuggestionDisplay`. Note that this method is a no-op unless the `SuggestBox.DefaultSuggestionDisplay` is used.
      Parameters:
        `style` - the new primary style name
      See Also:
        `UIObject.setStyleName(String)`

    - #### setTabIndex

          public void setTabIndex​(int index)

      Description copied from interface: `Focusable`
      Sets the widget's position in the tab index. If more than one widget has the same tab index, each such widget will receive focus in an arbitrary order. Setting the tab index to `-1` will cause this widget to be removed from the tab order.
      Specified by:
        `setTabIndex` in interface `Focusable`
      Parameters:
        `index` - the widget's tab index

    - #### setText

          public void setText​(java.lang.String text)

      Description copied from interface: `HasText`
      Sets this object's text.
      Specified by:
        `setText` in interface `HasText`
      Parameters:
        `text` - the object's new text

    - #### setValue

          public void setValue​(java.lang.String newValue)

      Description copied from interface: `HasValue`
      Sets this object's value without firing any events. This should be identical to calling setValue(value, false).

      It is acceptable to fail assertions or throw (documented) unchecked exceptions in response to bad values.

      Widgets must accept null as a valid value. By convention, setting a widget to null clears value, calling getValue() on a cleared widget returns null. Widgets that can not be cleared (e.g. `CheckBox`) must find another valid meaning for null input.

      Specified by:
        `setValue` in interface `HasValue<java.lang.String>`
      Specified by:
        `setValue` in interface `TakesValue<java.lang.String>`
      Parameters:
        `newValue` - the object's new value
      See Also:
        `TakesValue.getValue()`

    - #### setValue

          public void setValue​(java.lang.String value,
                               boolean fireEvents)

      Description copied from interface: `HasValue`
      Sets this object's value. Fires `ValueChangeEvent` when fireEvents is true and the new value does not equal the existing value.

      It is acceptable to fail assertions or throw (documented) unchecked exceptions in response to bad values.

      Specified by:
        `setValue` in interface `HasValue<java.lang.String>`
      Parameters:
        `value` - the object's new value
        `fireEvents` - fire events if true and value is new

    - #### showSuggestionList

          public void showSuggestionList()

      Show the current list of suggestions.

    - #### onEnsureDebugId

          protected void onEnsureDebugId​(java.lang.String baseID)

      Description copied from class: `UIObject`
      Called when the user sets the id using the `UIObject.ensureDebugId(String)` method. Subclasses of `UIObject` can override this method to add IDs to their sub elements. If a subclass does override this method, it should list the IDs (relative to the base ID), that will be applied to each sub `Element` with a short description. For example:
      - -mysubelement = Applies to my sub element.
      Subclasses should make a super call to this method to ensure that the ID of the main element is set. This method will not be called unless you inherit the DebugID module in your gwt.xml file by adding the following line:

           <inherits name="com.google.gwt.user.Debug"/>

      Overrides:
        `onEnsureDebugId` in class `UIObject`
      Parameters:
        `baseID` - the base ID used by the main element

    - #### showSuggestions

          void showSuggestions​(java.lang.String query)
