Another Synedit question

[snorkel]

I am trying to implement schema completion for a query editor I am working on (original version was in Delphi using that synedit)

Anyway I need the completion component to activate when the user types the name of a database schema and a . (dot)
in the drop down I then will display all the schema objects for that schema, i.e. tables, functions, etc

I can't see a way to activate the completion on a . (dot)  Am I just missing it?  I looked at the completion demos but nothing there on activating on a .

The IDE does in in ide/SourceEditor.pp (line 3050...), look for SourceCompletionTimer
Because the IDE waits a moment after the "." was pressed, so it needs the timer.


But yes there is no opening on ".". You have to hook
  SynEdit.OnProcessCommand
look for ecChar and trigger it yourself

Thanks,
I looked at the IDE editor and it's kind of difficult to follow.  I may have to switch to that Synedit 2.x port that is available.
