/* 
* which fields should be displayed in the info part
* label => columns of model to display
*/
$info_fields=array(
'Name'=>array('FirstName','LastName'),
'EMail'=>array('EMail'),
'Country'=>array('Country'),
);


/* 
* glue for multiple columns if no glue value is given <br /> is used 
*/
$info_glues=array(
'Name'=>'&nbsp;',
);


/* js list pattern for the drop down list */
$list_pattern="'<small>'+i + '/' + max + ':</small> <b>' + row.lastname +' '+row.firstname+ '</b><br /><small>'+ row.email+ ' '+ row.country+ '</small>'";


/* 
* set colModel (columns to select for display and return)
* tablecolumn => options
* 0 - display name  ( not used yet maybe for generated js info pattern etc.
* 1 - datafield
* 2 - searchpattern eg. name: country:
* 3 - searchable (2 -> yes and default, 1 -> yes, 0 -> no.)
*/

$colModel=array();
$colModel['ID'] = array('ID','id','id',1);   // searchable
$colModel['LastName'] = array('LastName','lastname','lastname',2); // searchable and default
$colModel['FirstName'] = array('FirstName','firstname','firstname',1); // searchable
$colModel['EMail'] = array('EMail','email','email',1); // searchable
$colModel['Country'] = array('Country','country','country',1); // searchable


$ac_select_options=array(
       'model' =>$userlist,   // your model object of the admin form
       'select_model'=> addresslist::model(),  // model class of the selection
       'attribute' => "AddressID",  // which attribute
       'actionPrefix'=>'pro.',  // has to be the same as in the controller
       'name'=>'AddressID',   // name
       'colmodel'=>$colModel,
       'buttonLabel'=>'User',  // label of the change button 'change ...'
       'default_search_data_field'=>'lastname',  // default data field for setting in the search field
       'default_data_field'=>'id',  // default data field for setting the value of the hidden field on selection
       'info_fields'=>$info_fields,
       'info_glues'=>$info_glues,
       'list_pattern'=>$list_pattern,
);

$ACSelectobj=$this->createWidget('application.extensions.acselect.ACSelect',$ac_select_options);
$ACSelectobj->run();
?>
</div>

and in the controller
  public function actions()
        {
            return array(
               'pro.'=>'application.extensions.acselect.ACSelect',
            )
        }

'pro.' < could be changed but must be also set in the widget call.

don't forget to set the access rules permission in your controller e.g. public function accessRules() {

return array( 
 array('allow', // allow all users to perform 'fillacselect' 
 'actions'=>array('pro.fillacselect'),  //
 'users'=>array('*') 
 ),
     array('deny',  // deny any other actions for  users
       'users'=>array('*'),
     ),

); }

fillacselect is the action name to fill the widget. Only needed if you have array('deny', // deny any other actions for users

       'users'=>array('*'),
     ),

in your accessrules.
