Context Menu

Question

We are using the Edit control for a project here, and I hoped to pick some of your brains for an idea...

We have a large list of commonly used names which the end user may enter into the edit control. The natural choice would be autocomplete, but as best I can tell it's unsupported.

I've been trying to use the contextChoice options, and was wondering if there was a way to change the trigger character. Right now the contextChoice pane only pops open if I enter a '.'

Anyone have a method by which we could accomplish this?

Thanks!
-Mike

I found the lexem formatting tag ' DropContextChoiceList="true" in the XML. This will let us pull the menu with a prefix. Is there a way to do this without a prefix, more like autocomplete?
