I have done this for the lcc-win32 ide. You type
int WINAPI Win<esc>
and the ide will
1: If there is only one choice will insert it automatically.
2: If there are less than 15 choices will show the choices in a popup menu
3: If there are more choices it will open a dialog box to let you pick the correct
   one.
The ide will scan include files also, when collecting identifiers.
