DNN Text Suggest Problems

I am working with DNN TextSuggest.

<dnn:DNNTextSuggest ID="txtTo"
                    runat="server"
                   onpopulateondemand="txtTo_PopulateOnDemand"
                    Width="250px" DefaultNodeCssClass="SuggestTextMenu"
                    DefaultNodeCssClassOver="SuggestNodeOver"
                   onnodeclick="txtTo_NodeClick">
</dnn:DNNTextSuggest>

I am able to load the values in "_PopulateOnDemand" event handler. But when I click on the displayed list to select any value I never get the "txtTo_NodeClick" event fired on the server side.

Any idea how to get the event handler called?

Also, How do I retrieve the selected nodes. For e.g there is a Property in TextSuggest called "DNNNodes". Is that supposed to contain all the selected nodes? I have a button on the form, where I am checking the size of DNNNodes and its always empty no matter how many nodes I select???

Re: DNN Text Suggest Problems

I got the samples from https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=77052&package_id=195906

and even there I dont get an event generated for NodeClicK?

Also, One thing I observed, after I select the node and click on a Button, I am doing this to get the value.

foreach (DNNNode node in txtTo.SelectedNodes)
{

int SelID = Int32.Parse(node.ID);

string SelectedText = node.text
}

node.ID is null but node.text has correct selected value..When I am loading the nodes, I am assigning an ID to it??

Re: DNN Text Suggest Problems

The control is written to allow for downlevel to render the same way... ID will only be populated when one is posted back. This can be done by specifying the ID Token

Re: DNN Text Suggest Problems

ok..I am not sure If I understood your answer.

I specified the ID token as braces and when I select one value from the autocompleteresults, the TextBox is populated with Something like "name [1]"..

I dont want that to happen..instead, if I select multiple values (separated by ",") and then click some button which postsback..when in the button click event I am looping through SelectedNodes collection to get all selected items..I can see the value (or Text) coming properly but ID is null...

My appplication is something similar to sending an email..where you have "To" textbox (which is DNNTextBox) and "Send" button..

Make sense?

Re: DNN Text Suggest Problems

What if I as a user simply typed in my answer? You would get the same scenario, where only the text is populated. Your code needs to support this use of the control as the IDs here would obviously be null).

The control could, I suppose, have a hidden field to store the IDs for the specific scenario you mention, but it would need to be enhanced.
