I'm working on a project for company who's name uses upper and lowercase characters and in some of our products. For privacy reasons, I'm just going to give examples.
MyGreatCompany and the product is TheBestProduct. When I add auto complete suggestions in my Google programmable search autocomplete they are as typed above. But, when the search results appear in the autocomplete box, they are all lower case.
MyGreatCompany becomes mygreatcompany and TheBestProduct becomes thebestproduct. Is there a way to interrupt the call back and force the autocomplete keywords to keep their text formatting?

I have actually spent a lot of time looking for a solution for this. Stackoverflow is my last resort. Before I dive in I would like to describe my requirements.
My requirements,
I need an editor like slack that automatically converts markdown to relevant TextStyle or html. For example if I type, ## Hello and press enter. it is styled as H2 styled text.
Moreover, I also need to show a dropdown whenever I press # or # to select from a list of options.
In short, I need something like quip, slite or medium.
I was hoping that this will be easy in flutter, given half of these features are already there in Google's Gmail and other apps by google by havent yet found a single library that meets these requirements.
What I have already tried?
Quil: I found out by flutter_quill but for that I have to stick to a toolbar on the top. And no mentions support.
Zefyr and html_editor: I have tried these, but they are very buggy and slow. Moreover, they have very limited documentations.
Custom Flutter: Medium-like Text Editor. This is the most promising solution but it is lacking one essential feature of text editor. The article proposes that I divide the entire input field into multiple text fields which I can control using state. But this has one big problem that is, what if I want to select the entire body of text. Any hacks on this will be well appreciated.
If you have any questions and if the question isn't clear enough, please free to comment down below.
I'm not sure what this functionality or feature is technically called. I just tried asking the chat on their homepage and they suggested I try asking here to see if anyone else has done this.
We're looking to allow users to highlight text and connect a tag to that text so that it can be categorized and found in a search later on, or used in analytics. For example, if the highlighted text says, "His leadership skills were average," the user should be able to highlight that text and be offered to tag it with pre-built tags, in this case perhaps "leadership" and "neutral". That way a separate user can search for those tags later. What would this functionality be called?
I'm working on a side project using the Microsoft Office JavaScript APIs. I have been relying on the documentation to find my way around, but I've hit a wall trying to find something in the docs (perhaps it isn't there because it doesn't exist).
Recently I attempting to implement some functionality to highlight some text within a Word document. I don't want to modify the document, mind you; in other words I would rather not use something like ContentControl.insertHtml as that would change the actual content. What I want is to make the text temporarily highlighted (e.g., until the user clicks a "Cancel" button), much like what you see when you perform a search with Ctrl+F (and text matching your search is highlighted in yellow).
Is this possible using the Office JavaScript APIs?
Try getting a reference to the Range object and then setting Range.font.highlightcolor. Have a handler for the Cancel button click event that reverses the color change.
Here is a sample application that uses font.highlightcolor from the Office Javascript API. https://github.com/OfficeDev/Word-Add-in-JS-Redact/
I'm trying to develop an Add-In for Microsoft Word. The basic idea being to load some key words into the document and then when the user hovers over one of the key words a box pops up to show more information, like on Wikipedia or Facebook.
Looking over the api reference I see that the popup box isn't possible, and that's okay I could just make it appear in the Add-In's panel.
I read about bindings, but it seems they can't detect a hover or even a click event? I thought about hacking something together with links but I don't think that would be very UI friendly.
The only thing I can think of to make it kind of possible is to have the user manually highlight the key word (sometimes the key word is more than one word), then have them click a "search" button in the Add-In's panel that would read the selected range and compare it against a database of words. It just seems very anti user compared to the original idea.
Does anyone know of a better way to achieve this?
my company's software product has a feature that allows users to generate forms from Word templates. The program auto fills some fields from the SQL database and the user can fill in other data that they desire. So we have a .dotx template that holds the design of the form, and then the user gets the .docx file to fill out when they call it from our program.
The problem we're having is that some of our users have been finding that the forms take an exceptionally long time to open up and then, once open, are so slow to respond (scroll around, etc) that they're unusable. So in my investigations so far, I've found out that the problem systems are one with lower powered CPUs (unfortunately it happens for systems above our system requirements) and the Word forms that cause the problems are ones with large amount of ActiveX style checkboxes on them. I verified that reducing the ActiveX checkboxes fixes the form loading problems.
So I have the following questions about solutions (we're using Word 2007):
1) Is there any way to configure Word, or some other settings, so that there won't be such a strain opening a Word form with lots of ActiveX checkboxes? Any way of speeding up Word's opening?
2) Using Legacy style checkboxes instead of the ActiveX ones makes the forms load fine, but it looks like the user has to double-click the checkbox and change Default Value->Checked. Is there a way to configure it so that they can simply click on the checkbox to tick it? "Legacy Forms" checkbox as a name kind of worries me (Legacy…), does that mean a future version of word at some point wouldn't load the checkboxes because they're "legacy"?
3) Yes, it became clear to me after a little bit of research into solutions that Word is not the tool for the job for forms like I'm describing. InfoPath seems to be exactly what we should have been using all along but unfortunately I wasn't involved in the decision making or development of these forms, just tasked with coming up with a solution.
I'd appreciate answers to any of these, or if anyone has any other ideas for solutions to this problem.
Thanks
I'm about 3 years too late, but if you want a legacy checkbox to act like a checkbox, you have to restrict editing on the document or section. (You can lock just a section, if you want.) Locking--on Word 2010 it's called "Restrict editing"--is an option under either the Developer tab or the Review tab.
If you restrict editing in this way, the user cannot edit the text but can fill in the form field, so if the form field is a checkbox, the user can click the checkbox on or off; if the form field is a text box, the user can fill the text box.
If you choose to lock off just a section, you'll probably want to use continuous section breaks (Page Layout > Breaks > Continuous) and specify which section. (In the space where you choose form editing as your kind of restriction, there's a small link that lets you specify which section or sections are locked.)
