I have written a component allowing easy implementation of typeahead functions
for variables or fields.
The idea is to create an array with possible values ("suggestions") and to
place a method (the only shared method of the component) in the on after edit
event of the variable or field. To this method, you pass the object name of the
variable or field and a pointer to the array with the values.
As soon as the user starts to type, the component displays a typeahead dialog,
a bit similar as the one we 4D programmers are used to work with when writing
code in the 4D method editor.
The component is free and open source, currently 4D v14 based but should be
easily portable to newer versions.
