What messages TEdit in delphi needs to answer in order for Windows Text Suggestions to work

When you create an new VCL form with one and put one TEdit and one TComboBox in it windows text suggestions works only with TComboBox. I guess this is because the Edit part of the combobox is a windows edit. I cannot seem to find anywhere how to make the VCL's edit behave the same way. Is there some IME messages I need to handle in a certain way or anything else?

What you ask is usually named autocomepletion. TEdit doesn't support this out of the box (Not that I am aware of). But there are several solutions floating around on the internet.

Not a direct solution, but have look at the answers to this question and also this one.

There is source code available for several solutions, you'll find it with this search on Google.
