Hi Tim,

Can you trap VK_F4 to open and close the list in the combobox?

Can you make a style property for the combobox to simulate Delphi csDropDown and csDropDownList?
That way setting it to csDropDownList would make it searchable like the TListBox component.

Sure, I can see about adding that.

What you want is the AllowEdit property.  Set it to False to simulate the
csDropDownList property setting.

If I set AllowEdit = False then I am unable to write anything into the edit box.
I was thinking more along the lines of as I was typing, it would traverse the list and show the nearest match.
So typing "T" would give me the first in the list that begins with that letter. Typing "Th" would bring me closer still.

Are you referring to *after* the list is dropped down, or before ?

In general, this is version 1 of the product and is pretty much frozen at
this point since I'm finishing up the documentation.  Anything that you're
asking for won't likely make it into the product until some time after the
initial release.

Also, as I stated in my blog post about the pre-release, it is only intended
for you to use to get a feel for the product and it is not intended to be
used and supported by us at this point:

The problem that I'm running into is that all of my time is being spent with
pre-release questions, right as I'm trying to finish the product.
