Quoting John Salerno <johnjsal@NOSPAMgmail.com>:

If I\'d like to have a ComboBox control that uses auto-complete (typing
a name that is in the list causes that name to be placed in the text
box), how would I do that?

Also, is it possible to not allow the typing of a name that is not in
the list?

Thanks. I got it to work, sort of. But now the Combo Box has a grey square on its left half, and this blocks the first part of the entry in the text box. Where did this come from?

Having done this kind of thing several times myself, I'm guessing that you have a panel somewhere that you forgot to add to a sizer or set the wrong parent for, so it's drawing a 20x20 block at 0,0.

Thanks!
