ADF Basics| Tip to Hide af:inputListOfValues search popup at runtime

Hello All

Previously I have posted about a requiremnt of  hiding af:inputListOfValues search icon using CSS
ADF Skinning | Hiding search icon of af:inputListOfValues using CSS & StyleClass

In that solution search icon doesn't appear on page but it is a part of JSF component tree so when user press TAB+SPACE after entering a value in lov component then search popup appears on screen as this action invokes search icon click event

Recently a Friend of mine came across another requirement that was not showing lov popup at all as only autoSuggest behavior was required , so for this first way is to use autoSuggest behavior in an af:inputText compoent using Lov bindings and second way is to short circuit component life cycle
