Actually I did. I dug into the code and made some wild eyed, lucky guesses. The component is based on a combo box just with the drop down arrow set to a width of zero to make it look like a text control. Restoring the drop arrow provide the functionality I desired. It also has the ability to accept value not on the list The only bit about this is that the user needs to use the 'up' arrow on the keyboard to accept a new value that is a substring of an existing value. If the user presses enter, the first element that matches the typed text is selected if one exists. This is a bit unintuitive to me, I would prefer the enter key to work as the up key, but I'm not confident enough with my understanding of the logic to play with this functionality yet.
