ComboBoxItem and minimum number of input characters

[milesif]

Hi everybody,

I have set up a suggester using a ComboBoxItem and it works very well. The only thing I could not achieve is to prevent my suggester from sending a request to the server if the user has not inputed at least three or more characters.
At the moment a request is sent to the server even when the user digit just one character.
I haven't yet found a method in the ComboBoxItem API. Maybe it exists and I am just missing it or there is some ComboBoxItem method I could override to do it.

thanks for your help

regards

And if you use addKeyPressHandler and cancel the event (when condition is not met) doesn't work ?

SmartGWT 4.0d and SmartClient 9.0d builds, available from smartclient.com/builds, now have
support for ComboBoxItem.minimumSearchLength.
