Hi all of you VFP die-hards and gurus,

I am currently in the process of adding some scripting to a good old "plain-vanilla" (well nearly so...) VFP application. The text parsing functionality - pretty simple - was no problem. The grammar is indeed pretty simple.

Now come the time to enhance the user-experience when they build the scripts - it's an expression language not a full interpreter of course. At the current junction, bringing some sort of intellisense/autocompletion to the editbox where type occurs would be a great addition.

Any idea how this could be performed in a decently "simple" way? What is needed? Some sort of autocomplete à la notepad++ (see attachment).

A this stage, I am not looking to import the VFP smart command editing language functionality at all. We'd just be glad to find some quick fix that would reduce users typing would be great! We try to avoid heavy dependencies on this very compact application, so no smart solution that would involve smart DSL design is in the pipe nor using external widgets. Just plain hacking of the vfp toolset to enhance the user-experience:)

Any feedback welcome.

Daniel
