  • implements: I obj.pngIProposalField<T>
  • extends: C obj.pngAbstractProposalField<T>

Description

Required version

This field is similar to a smart field, but user can enter some texts that does not correspond to any proposition returned by a LookupCall.

It was indroduced to replace the AllowCustomText property provided by the SmartField before Eclipse Scout Luna.


Screenshot

When the user enter some text, like in a SmartField the propositions to this text are diplayed (like in a SmartField):
