I am creating an enhanced ComboBox component. The feature I am 
currently adding is the ability to type the letters "b", "o", "b" and 
have it find "bob" in the dropdown. I have the code working 
reasonably well, in that it finds what I am looking for, and selects 
it.

The problem I am having is that if the dropdown is visible, it 
displays the correct item, but doesn't move the list to coincide with 
the item selected so I end up with;

<bob> - The item selected
abel
bill
bob
chuck

what I would like is;

<bob> - The item selected
bill
bob - highlighted
chuck
don

Does anyone know the method that will cause the dropdown to scroll to 
and highlight the selectedItem?

As a kludge, I can close and reopen the combobox, but that looks 
nasty as a person is typing.

On a related note, is there a way of telling whether the comboBox is 
open or closed?

Paul
