Hi, Andreas!
First of all, thank you for answering my question.

entry in your completion model.
Sorry,but my users can type anything and I have not possibilities to predict
and add any possible combination of chars into completion list.
So seems like Qcompleter is not intended for a job like this...
May be I can work around with another widget.
Btw, can I add some kind of custom popup widget to TextEdit control for
example?
