Search on Interger values in mendix Auto Complete widget

Hi

I have used The mendix Auto Complete widget number of times in my projects. But now I am developing a project that needs to search on a Product Code. This product code is an Interger Value stored in an Entity along with the product details. 

But when I try to put the mendix Auto Complete widget on it, I found out that this widget only let's you search on string values.. 

Is there any way I can use my product code in an auto complete? So that when a user types halfway, it gives you suggestions and complete the code in the search box?

Please help
