Extending DTP SQL Query builder / statement area [message #757363]

I am new to DTP and wanted to know if there is a way to reuse the SQL Statement Area.

I am interested in just the SQL Text box in the builder which has content assist. The SQL Builder is an overkill for me.
Is there any way this can be accomplished?

I need to show this in my PropertySection. I did use the SQLStatementArea which has provided me with syntax highlighting. However I also need content assist. Am I using the right control?

Any help is appreciated.

You should be able to embed the SQL edit area component into another
context, but it's not trivial to do. The main component for the SQL
edit area is the SQLSourceViewer class in the views.source package. You
will need to supply an initialized instance of the SQLDomainModel class,
which provides access to the database connection and parser services
that the SQL edit component uses.

Thanks for the pointers. I do agree that it is not trivial.

I did a quick POC and found that this could be done using the tips your provided.
