regarding completefunc

[venuparipelly]

Hi all,
I would like to custom auto-complete function for my files. I can do
something like this as provided in vimdoc.
fun! CompleteMonths(findstart, base)
if a:findstart
" locate the start of the word
let line = getline('.')
let start = col('.') - 1
while start > 0 && line[start - 1] =~ '\a'
let start -= 1
endwhile
return start
else
" find months matching with "a:base"
let res = []
for m in split("Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec")
if m =~ '^' . a:base
call add(res, m)
endif
endfor
return res
endif
endfun
set completefunc=CompleteMonths

But while showing in popup menu, i want different value to show. In
above example, When I type Ja, It shoulde show January(2011) in popup,
but when i select it should insert only Jan. Is there anyway to do
this.
Basically I want to show some more info to user, apart from auto-
complete string. Please help with this... this is very usefull for my
project.

See :h complete-items
You can use dictionary items that specify what kind of information is
shown and inserted. Additionally, you can also use a preview-window.

Thanks Christian. Got it. I tried with dictionary items, it is working great.  Thanks again.

Do you know any example or vim scripts for my reference. Or do we have any vim script, which will take a list of auto-completes and apply ( i mean like snippets).

Thanks

Venu
