	I requested that the CJ ComboBox support simple style (no drop-down button displayed) in Office2007 mode, which would give us the benefit of autocomplete, styling, and just looking like a FlatEdit control instead of a ComboBox, but no luck :( http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16231 It would be a nice addition if anyone from CJ happens to be reading this ;) Or is there some other way to hide the ComboBox button (and prevent the drop-down menu from showing with F4 or other accelerators keys)?

	Nice demo gibra! I would still prefer if there was a way to use the ComboBox Autocomplete to do this (with a hidden drop-down button), for a couple of reasons: 1) The CB drop-down menu floats over the form, so it can extend off the client area of the form. 2) We don't have to maintain an array of entries - the ComboBox has all of the items in its list But I appreciate the demo - maybe I'll expand it a bit to do what I need without the ComboBox and post it back here (if I can find the time).

	Thank jbpro. My sample work in according to request post. However, we can use a combobox, too. All depends from 'how' you want to implement the behavoir of combobox. I.e.: - the dropdown window must be filled, and resized, 'dynamically' (as the textbox sample)? - in the edit, you want see 'the first occurence', or only the typed text? Explain better your needs.
