In addition to what Trey said, the incremental search feature of Combos is tied to the time specified in the _DBLCLICK variable. You can increase this by placing code in the Gotfocus method to set this to some higher value. That way users can pause longer between keystrokes and the search will still work.

You can create a Combo subclass with a property to store the old value and then in the Lostfocus set _DBLCLICK back to what it was.

HTH.
