I find that when I include a ListConverter in the binding for a combo box, it forces it to behave as though DropDownStyle=DropDownList and ignores my AutoCompleteMode=Suggest setting. In other words, it forces the user to select from the list and does not allow any input in the text area of the combo.

Is there any way around this behavior?

I have attached the code and documentation for a Custom ComboBox which will give you the behaviour you want.

Here is the documentation.

David,
 
Both are only documentation. But, when I compiled the projects the ComboBoxDataBinder class fails because I didn't override GetBaseFitness.
 
 
So, is there suppose to be something in that?

It has been a while since I built this project.
 
If you correct the build error, does the solution work?

I added the method that need to be used. And left it blank. Works fine.
