Are you trying to use the standard QScintilla auto-completion support, or are 
you trying to do something simpler with user lists?

If you are trying to do full auto-completion (with support for language APIs) 
then Scintilla itself needs a lexer for your language. Otherwise you can just 
do auto-completion from the words in your document (see 
setAutoCompletionSource()).

If you just want to do something simple with user lists then see the 
documentation for showUserList() and userListActivated().
