ComboBox Auto Dropped State When Typing

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   How do I get the ComboBox to automatically drop down when I start typing so that we can see the items that match what is being typed - the same functionality as the ComboBox control on the CommandBar where ShellAutoComplete = True - but for items that I have added to the ComboBox- e.g. "Item 1", "Item 2", "Item 3", etc.

Thanks
Lee
