I mainly display a ListView on top of the Editor control. Editor has methods 
to know where the cursor is so that you can move the ListView just under it. 

You can look in the IDE source code to have the details. But it is complex, as 
it supports different auto-completions: class symbols, event handlers, 
keywords, identifiers, special methods.
