Display information in Type Ahead

Hello

Is it possible in the Type Ahead to write a phone number and showing the names and companies in the list returned but still only save the phone number. I would in fact, use phone number as key, but to see who has the phone number when I enter it. I use this in Type Ahead/Suggestions today but now a only return the phone number.

db = new Array(@DbName()[0], 'main.nsf');
@DbColumn(db, "c_ByPhone", 1)

Regards
Fredrik

The first thing I'd try would be a mask converter.

You should be able to accept the full line of phone no.+name, and throw away the non-digits.

(I've not tried this myself, just what I'd look into first).

Yes -

tim Tripcony originally blogged about it. I did a notesIn9 show in it here:

Hope that helps.

P.S. Lots more Videos available at XPages.TV
