users to quickly find and select from a
list of values as they type, searching and filtering without Native text
with auto-complete in APEX.
This process works fine with Apex 4 and 5 versions but not 18.
Steps in
APEX :
APEX :
ü Step 1 : Create a text field item P67_ENAME.
ü Step 2 : Copy Below code in to the HTML
Header of the page.
Header of the page.
<!doctype html>
<html
lang=”en”>
lang=”en”>
<head>
<meta
charset=”utf-8″>
<title>autocomplete
demo</title>
<link
rel=”stylesheet” href=”//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css “>
<script
src=”//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.js”></script>
<script
src=”//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js”></script>
</head>
ü Step 3 : a) Create an Application Process GET_NAMES.
b) Change the Process Point to On
Demand – Run this Process when requested by AJAX.

c) Copy the Below PL/SQL Code as
source.

Note : This Process returns values
matching the literals typed in the text field item in the JSON Format.
matching the literals typed in the text field item in the JSON Format.
DECLARE
CURSOR c_names(pc_term IN VARCHAR2)
IS
SELECT ‘{“label”:”‘
|| ename
||
‘”,”id”:”‘
‘”,”id”:”‘
|| empno
|| ‘”}’ ename
FROM emp
WHERE UPPER (TO_CHAR (ename)) LIKE
UPPER (‘%’ || pc_term) || ‘%’
ORDER BY 1;
l_num NUMBER := 0;
l_term VARCHAR2 (4000);
BEGIN
l_term := apex_application.g_x01;
HTP.prn (‘[‘);
FOR rec IN c_names(l_term)
LOOP
IF l_num != 0
THEN
HTP.prn (‘,’);
END IF;
HTP.prn (rec.ename);
l_num := l_num + 1;
END LOOP;
HTP.prn (‘]’);
END;
ü Step 4 :
a) Create a dynamic action on change of P67_ENAME (Text Field).
b) Create a True action as Execute Javascript
Code and Check Fire on Page Load. Copy the below code.

Note : Below Javascript Code calls the
AJAX Process whenever user types in the text field and passes the values to the
process and displays the values in the textfield.

);
},
select: function(event, ui){

event.preventDefault();
},

autoFocus: true
});
