SearchChoices - Is it possible to pre populate the search string

[ettiennelr]

Hi

Is it possible to set the search string on the widget and then have it open by setting its focus?

Example:

I have a widget with an image that contained a string value. see image 1

When the user taps the image I want to automatically set the search string in SearchChoices and have the dialog open and the lookups filtered. see image 2

Hello @ettiennelr ,

search_choices doesn't support this possibility at the moment. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for mentionning this potential enhancement.

Hello @ettiennelr ,

Version 2.0.0 now provides a way to solve this through the use of the new parameter setOpenDialog.
This is demonstrated in the example app as "Single dialog open and set search terms".

Can you please let me know whether I can close this request?

Cheers!

Fantastic I will let you know

@lcuis How can I make a search preselected with setOpenDialog ?

I used it to focus the element only.

My case open in showModalBottomSheet

Hello @viniciusweber ,

Sorry, I'm afraid the search_choices plugin only supports dialog or menu, not showModalBottomSheet. Maybe this would be worth opening a new issue to support this alternative?

@lcuis

Thanks for the answer,

I use SearchChoices.single() inside a showModalBottomSheet, my intention would be when opening the showModalBottomSheet again, keep the previous search written in the box equal to the topic owner

Oh, sorry @viniciusweber , I misunderstood.

The best way for me to help you would be if you could open a new issue with your code example. I think this would help me understand your need.
