<p>I had a need for a combobox that would auto-complete, very much like
the URL edit box in the toolbar of Netscape Navigator. It was actually
surprisingly simple since the base CComboBox is so rich in functionality.
</p>

<p>The basic idea is that every time the text in the edit box changes,
check to see if there is any text in the drop down list that is prefixed
by this edit box text. Handle the CBN_EDITUPDATE message to get the text
change notifications, and use GetWindowText() to get the text.
CComboBox::SelectString will look for a string in the list which is prefixed 
by the given string, and select it into the edit box. I then select the 
portion of text that was added to the users typed text so that they can 
continue typing and have the additions ignored if they wish. That takes 
care of 90% of the work.
</p>

<p>The only trick is in handling backspaces and deletes. When a user hits
delete, the text is changed, and the auto-completion routine will try to
restore that text back again. Just check in PreTranslateMessage for a
KEY_DOWN message with a virtual key of VK_DELETE or VK_BACK, and temporarily
disable the auto-complete mechanism for those key strokes.
</p>
