   That is unlikely to work. On Windows, Scintilla uses the listbox control which is very simple with just a single column. Since autocompletion lists may contain icons, not just text, they are “owner drawn”. The data stored in the list box control are not strings but integer “item ID” items. The text and icons are hidden within Scintilla and indexed by the item ID. The screen reader would probably only be able to say something like “item 1”. Scintilla doesn’t provide an API to retrieve the text of items.
