Based on the version of VFP look at _dblclick (VFP 6 and before) and _incseek. For instance, if VFP7, in the GotFocus method set _incseek to .5 (remember to set to back to default of 5.

You can automatically have the combo open with this command: keyboard "{F6}" Could put it in the GotFocus or last object or method before the combo.

>>The combo is fill scanning a table and adding item. The combobox allow to type new value, in this case the displayvalue is set to this value and the value property is empty. This is fine. But even if I set the property to allow incremental search to allow incremental search this is not working. I also try to set different value for _INCSEEK = N. If I change from combobox to drown down list without changing any other property the incremental search is working nice but user can't type new value.
