Screenshot is difficult, as I don't know if it shows the tooltips. But 
it's easy:

Create a new ComboBox on the form. If it's the first one, it's called 
ComboBox1.

In the class, type Com and you will get a proposal for ComboBox, not 
ComboBox1.

Now change its name (in the Properties dialog at the right) to anything 
else, testbox for instance. You may even press Return after typing. 
Nothing happens, the name doesn't refresh in the preview - and if you 
type "testbox" somewhere within code, the list with proposals will only 
appear after you typed the "."

Does this make it clearer?
