Added a MethodBinding to SelectInputText called textChangeListener, which takes a TextChangeEvent parameter. TextChangeEvent extends ValueChangeEvent, and the whole things acts like ValueChangeEvent/ValueChangeListener. Although the TextChangeEvent is broadcast in the APPLY_REQUEST_VALUES phase and contains the SelectInputText's submittedValue as its new value.

It's purpose is to notify the application that the user has typed in a text fragment into the SelectInputText's text input field, allowing for the application to refine its selection list which will popup. In the case of converted and validated values, which require a complete
input of text, like with a Date, the textChangeListener may call FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().renderResponse() to skip over the validation, and proceed to rendering the popup selection list.

An example of using the new textChangeListener, to allow for converted data types:

<ice:selectInputText
rows="15" width="300"
textChangeListener="#

"
valueChangeListener="#

">
<f:convertDateTime type="both" dateStyle="full" timeStyle="full"/>
<f:selectItems value="#

"/>
</ice:selectInputText>

public void textChanged(TextChangeEvent event) {
String text = (String) event.getNewValue();
if(text == null || text.length() == 0)

else

}

public void valueChanged(ValueChangeEvent event) {
// Once a full value has been typed in or selected, and passed conversion and validation,
// we can access it here
Date d = (Date) event.getNewValue();

// The same thing should be accessible here:
Date d2 = (Date) ( (SelectInputText) event.getComponent() ).getValue();

// In case you need the actual SelectItem that was selected, if one was selected
SelectInputText autoComplete = (SelectInputText) event.getComponent();
if (autoComplete.getSelectedItem() != null)

}

// ArrayList< SelectItem<Date> >
public List getList()

We should add usage of the textChangeListener somewhere in the component-showcase.
