Highlighting an item in a combo's drop-down list

With the combo box in .Net, if you type text while the drop-down section is
displayed, it automatically scrolls through the list for the first applicable
item based on what you've typed. This is quite handy, but I think it would be
handier if that item in the drop-down section was highlighted. If you move
your mouse over the list section, you'll see that it highlights whichever
item it's over without actually selecting it - I would like this to have the
same effect.

Any ideas?
