Well, unfortunately, we didn't think it common enough to build into CombBox. You can work with my example and modify it or maybe someone has already solved it, but it isn't built in.

I realize that ComboBox can support a long scrolling list. If there's another control I should be using, by all means enlighten me. PopupMenuButton only opens on a click in the arrow, and doesn't drop down in quite the same way. If I'm not mistaken, the example on your blog doesn't do anything about highlighting. Thanks.

But if anyone has a ready-made solution, I'm all ears.
