There is no standard way since there is no look-ahead, history based text entry
inherant in the OS. What I would suggest is a manually programmed list below
the entry field that comes up with possible words as the user writes in the edit
field. The edit field would keep the focus and if the look-ahead comes to the
desired word, they would tap on that in the list. You many want this list to be
just above the writing area so there is less pen travel to use a look-ahead
control
