title: C# Combobox (Dropdownstyle = Simple) -- how to select item as you type
body: <p>I have a Combobox control on my form (WinForms, .NET 3.5), and its <strong>DropDownStyle</strong> property is set to <strong>Simple</strong>. Let's say it is populated with the letters of the alphabet, as <strong>string</strong> objects ("a", "b", "c", and so on).<br/>
  As I type a letter in the combobox' input field, the correct item will be displayed just underneath.</p>
  
  <p>This is the behaviour I want. But I would also like to have the first matching item selected.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a property of the Combobox control that would achieve that? Or do I need to handle that programatically?</p>
