Preparation

Smart-Type looks just like the windows SHAutocomplete API, except that it uses a datafile and you have total control over the words and phrases offered to your users.

To prepare an application to use Smart-Type, you need a file containing those words and phrases.

The file needs:

•	a field containing the words or phrases to be used

•	and a single ascending key on that field.

The file can be any type, and can have any other fields you like.

The SmartTypeDemo.dct has an example file in it, which you are free to import and use.

A suggestion...

I use the import from excel wizard in Capesoft Office Inside to give my users the ability to add their own vocabulary.
