JSONP remote data with call function

[Karel]

Hi,

I have a problem with data source for autocomplete. I get data from remote service via callback function which fills global json object. I need to use this object as a datasource but I don't know how to refresh datasource because I don't have transport.read method. Is there a way how to refresh datasource somehow?

This code could help to clafiry:

YAHOOsuggest={ResultSet:{Query:'',Result:[]}};<br>

YAHOO = { Finance: { SymbolSuggest: { ssCallback: function (jsn) { YAHOOsuggest = jsn; return (jsn); } } } };

 

function InitializeStockInput() {

    $("#stockInput").kendoAutoComplete({<br>

        dataSource: new kendo.data.DataSource({

            data: YAHOOsuggest.ResultSet.Result,

            type: "json"

        }),

        placeholder: "Select stock...",

        minLength: 1,

        dataTextField: "name",

        dataValueField: "symbol"

    });

}

 

function StockInputChanged(sender) {

    var url='http://d.yimg.com/autoc.finance.yahoo.com/autoc?query='+ sender.value +'&callback=YAHOO.Finance.SymbolSuggest.ssCallback';

    helper(url);

}

 

 

function helper(url) {

    var head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];

    var script = document.createElement('script');

    script.type = 'text/javascript';

    script.src = url;

    script.id = 'helperScript';

    script.onload = cleaner;

    head.appendChild(script);

}

 

 

function cleaner() {

    $('#helperScript').remove();

}

Hello Karel,

If you have already have loaded the data without the DataSource, you can use its data method to set it. e.g.

var autoComplete = ("#stockInput").data("kendoAutoComplete");
autoComplete.dataSource.data(myDataArray);

Also, note that the AutoComplete does not support a value field and if you need to use separate fields for the text and value you should use ComboBox instead. Regards,
