I have a combobox that is unpopulated on open but is editable. As the user types, I check the length of the text field and at a certain point I fire off a RemoteObject call to the server. This returns a list of items that match what the user enters. Great, this bit works.
Now, I want to populate the combobox with this list which works great BUT I want the textfield to still be the same and to have the cursor at the end of the text so the user can keep typing and narrow down the returned items. What happens is that the combobox populates with the returned items, and the editable field becomes the first item returned. Now, I can set the first item of the dataprovider to what the user had typed so far but when the combobox populates, this first item is selected so the user types over everything he has just typed. How do I get this to not be selected and the cursor at the end of the text?
