Combobox slow to drop down

TD
I have a combobox that is sometimes slow to drop down when clicked on.
If you select an item in the list that is near the top of the list then
the next time you click on the combobox it drops down fast for you to
make another selection. If you click on an item from the list that is
way down the list then the next time you click on the combobox it takes
several seconds for it to drop down so you can make another selection
The combobox is filled with approxiately 720 items; I cannot reduce
that number. Why is it so slow to drop down and is there anyway to
speed it up?

Thanks,
TD

I'm working in .NET and I can't seem to get the behavior that I need from the combobox. I'm sure it's possible, I just don't have the .NET experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I need a combobox with the following behavior: - The user can type in any text they want - When the user clicks the drop down button and selects an item from the combobox the text for that item should be appended to the end of the text already...

I've got what at first appears to be a really simple problem. I have a dropdown combobox with a list of names in, the user can enter text into the edit portion or drop the combobox and select a name. What I need to do is to drop the combobox when the user types and find the nearest entry to what the user entered (so if they typed A, Andy may be the nearest entry, the list should scroll, but not select, unless the user uses arrow down...

I've looked high and low for some code that will allow me to have a combobox with a flat borderstyle. I found a few examples, but nothing that was really usable for me. I had the following criteria that I wanted to meet, but nothing did: - No reliance on a separate library - No unmanaged code - Easy subclassing of System.Windows.Forms.Combobox (i.e. no custom control monstrosity) - No extra funky features that I didn't need

I am trying to get an event when the drop-down Combo Box goes away / reverts back to showing a single item. For example, clicking the box's down arrow, to remove the drop-down window, doesn't seem to generate any event. Not even a mouse event. That seems a little odd. Besides not finding a public event method, I can't seem to find a protected method to over-ride either.

Dear reader, What can be wrong in my ComboBox, the property "Auto Expand" is set to Yes, but by typing in the ComboBox it doesn't expand. Is this because the source of the ComboBox is a query.
