Dynamic autocomplete combobox

If I press Windows+R key in Windows and type some letters,
Autocomplete list shows possible choices.

I want to implement similar thing in winforms application:

when I type first letters from customer name,autocomplete list for customers
starting with this same should apper.
Since there a large amout of customer names, I must run query in database to
find 20 nearest matches.
Database query must executed if no key is pressed for 3 seconds.

Any sample code how to implement this ?
