Delphi translation of the IAutoComplete interface

Problem/Question/Abstract:

I'm looking for a Delphi translation of the IAutoComplete interface in Microsofts shldisp.h. Can anyone point me in the right direction, please?

Answer:

Here is the translation and a TEdit decendant I wrote a while back:

unit uAutoComplete;

interface

uses
  Windows, SysUtils, Controls, Classes, ActiveX, ComObj, stdctrls, Forms, Messages;
