Is there any way to do autocomplete (from a database or JSON) in the Bot framework emulator?

Currently I am using the Bot Framework emulator and I want to know if there is any possible way of using @symbol to populate (autocomplete) data. Finally I want to know if I can do this in Skype.

  • I'm not exactly sure how you qould plan on implementing this in skype without access to the client code. Have you looked into that at all? – D4RKCIDE Dec 21 '17 at 18:26

  • Its not possible using bot framework's default `iframe` in `webchat`. You need a custom **chat window** something like this [Example Custom Chat Window](https://www.hdfcbank.com/) to implement what you are thinking. However you can use `$.autocomplete` in jQuery to populate the values in a custom chat window. To construct a custom chat window, you need `DirectLine` to send and recieve messages to your bot to and fro. – Kunal Mukherjee Dec 22 '17 at 11:29
