Hi Andrus

I've developed such combobox. I can't give you all the details right now, but the key to what you want to achieve is that you need

KEYBOARD '{ALT+DNARROW}'

In the keypress event when you start typing. Since there is no property to know when the dropdown list is visible, You need a IsDropDown property to keep track of this and set this in various events.
