There is no support for this in Scintilla. It may be possible to implement it yourself in the container application. > The purpose of > the window is to supply additional information regarding the current > selection in the auto completion dropdown. There is no notification when selection changes in the autocompletion list. You could use platform features (such as subclassing on Windows) to watch the list. > Assuming it is not possible, I would also like to hear what > other people think about the idea, how much effort it would likely take, > where to start, etc... Each platform would have to be modified to detect autocomplete selection changes. Once the platform code is there adding a new notification is simple. If you want to implement this for just one platform, that is OK. If the extra window was just a small variation of the current calltip code with the ability to be visible at the same time as the autocompletion then that should be easy and OK. I don't want to incorporate a new type of tool window as I think bundling autocomplete and calltips so tightly with Scintilla was a mistake as it makes it harder for applications to modify these or add similar features. A better approach would have been to provide generic interfaces for these features so that they could be implemented as required by containers and then some implementations could be included in the Scintilla package.
