Ian, you won't get the type it in functionality from the combobox. you could however, mix the two. place the textinput from Autocomplete over the combobox, and expose the dropdown arrow th the right, or use a custom button to switch between the two controls as the user sees fit. click on the textinput, get Autocomplete functionality. click the drop arrow, get combobox functionality.
