extend jqueryui autocomplete

Question

How can I take use of the autocomplete functions to match the following requirements?

• If suggestion matches more than 10 items, it should instead of showing the suggestions, show the number of entries next to the input

• If suggestion matches less than 10 items, it should suggest the autocompletion

I'm new to jquery and jqueryui, but is it right that I can control the "open" event to achieve my requirements? Can anyone help me out here, please? :D

Here you have an example: http://jsfiddle.net/marcosfromero/wD9RH/

You should use the callback option for the source parameter.
