Combobox Autocomplete

Tags: autocomplete, combobox
Hey guys,

Writing in C# 2.0, trying to find an easy way to code a combobox to work with an instring autocomplete. The default autocomplete modes (Suggest and/or Append) only work if the item is typed correctly from the start of the string. I'd like the exact same behavior just for any instance of the entry within the string to be suggest/appended.

Any ideas appreciated, ive been messing with key events on the combobox with some results, but not as smooth as the builtin autocomplete.
