[Gambas-user] ComboBox as a SearchBox?

[Matti]

My idea was: entering the beginning of a word in a ComboBox, the list should display all the possible matches, then either select from the list or narrow the search by entering more letters.
This works perfect - but when I fill the list with the matches, my search string (= ComboBox.Text) is overridden with the first result of the search. So there is no chance of searching farther.

Ok, I have built the same now with a TextBox to search and a ListBox to show the results, but I still wonder why. It would be far more elegant...
