AutoCompletion in TX Text Control
This sample application implements AutoCompletion in TX Text Control, allowing users to type a few initial characters and have the full word inserted automatically. The approach handles lengthy technical terms at the application level and includes freely downloadable source code.
Often I am asked how to implement AutoCompletion(also called AutoText) functionality in TX Text Control.
AutoCompletion allows you to type the first few letters of a commonly used word (often technical or job specific), and tell TX Text Control to finish typing the word for you. This is often very useful when you have lengthy technical words.
You can save a lot of valuable time using AutoCompletion, if you spend a lot of time of writing lengthy articles.
Typically, AutoCompletion is implemented at the end user application level, due to the different requirements of every application.
In this sample application, you will learn how to implement AutoCompletion in a TX Text Control based word processing application.
As usual, you can download the source code and do what ever you want with it - use it in your own applications, learn from it or integrate it into a new project. The source code does not have any copyright.
