OK. It is worth thinking about. We have a similar issue with Spinner, which is 
also currently non-editable. Maybe we should think about adding editor support 
to these components.

You have to use an event listener to invoke the popup, since we can't know up 
front what event(s) an application might want to use to trigger it. For 
example, some applications display suggestions every time the text changes, but 
others do it only when the user enters a character (vs. deletes one), some apps 
may want to show the list when the user presses the down arrow key, others may 
do it when the user presses a button, etc.
