Google Maps Address Auto Complete Inside Browser control

Douglas Martin · October 09, 2013, 03:16:04 AM

My PB win app launches a browser control that I have used to successfully display google maps with directions, etc. I am now trying to implement an Address Auto Complete feature.

The following HTML works fine when I open it in IE, firefox, Chrome, etc. If I open it using my PB app and the browser control I get the input box and can type an address but the dropdown list of potential matches never shows up.

Might have something to do with the google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);

Anyone have any suggestions for how to get this to work?

<script type="text/javascript">
function initialize() {
var input = document.getElementById('searchTextField');
var options = {componentRestrictions: {country: 'us'}};

new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(input, options);
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
</script>
</head> body>
<label for="searchTextField">Please insert an address:</label>
<input id="searchTextField" type="text" size="50">
</body>
