There is a demo in the "examples" newsgroup which I think do almost what you

need. Here is the message:


--------------

http://www.trichview.com/support/files/autocomplete.zip


Press Ctrl+Space to display suggestions for the current word.

This demo uses RVGetText unit. It's included in the registered version, or

can be downloaded here:

http://www.trichview.com/support/files/rvgettext.zip


Note: this demo was compiled with RichView v1.8.27. If you use older

version, Delphi may show warnings about unknown properties when opening

forms. Open both forms in the project, press "Ignore all" for warnings, save

the forms.
