Bug 148357 [Field Assist] - API - provide access for closing the proposal popup
I think that the field assist API needs more hooks to be customizable. For example : 1) There is no way to manually close/open the popup. Most of the times, this is the easier thing for a user to ask to implement his custom behaviour. 2) There is no way to intercept keystrokes/events directed to the field. 3) There is no way to control focus.

					getControl().getDisplay().syncExec(
							new Runnable() {
								public void run() {
									openProposalPopup(true);
								}
							});
				}
			};
			Thread t = new Thread(runnable);
			t.start();
		} else {
			
			
			
			
			
			
			getControl().getDisplay().asyncExec(
					new Runnable() {
						public void run() {
							if (isValid()) {
								openProposalPopup(true);
							}
						}
					});
		}
	}
