In Delphi, I can make a ComboBox act as a fully editable text box, but with a list
that you can select from too. I don't seem to be able to do this in EWB. What I'd
like to do is have a few presets (URLs in this case) but allow the user to edit
them as appropriate. Thus I might put in www.elevatesoft.com as the predefined list,
but allow the user to enter /download at the end, and then press Enter to go there.
What happens is that I start typing the extra, and then it gets blatted back to the
list item. Is there a way, or should I create my own edit and list mechanism?

I'll have to check this out - the TComboBox may need another property to
indicate if you want searching when AllowEdit=True.
