Hello,

I want to assist the user typing text into a Text widget. Therefor I would
like to use Eclipse's code assist mechanism that is used within the Java
editor in the Eclipse IDE. Unfortunately do I know little about that
topic.
So my question:
1. What plugin and classes to I need?
2. Is it possible to use it with a Text widget?
3. Is there a place with documentation?

Thanks,
Jan

There is an example in the PDE documentation. Open the Help contents and
navigate to Platform Plug-in Developer Guide->Examples
Guide->Workbench->Field Assist Example.
(or here online: http://tinyurl.com/6cchpc )

Here's a link to the example in CVS (as an Eclipse plugin project):
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.ui.exam ples.fieldassist/

Hope this helps,
Eric
