DropDown List Box and Type-ahead

[Bob C.]

Does IP2007 support type-ahead for lists? I'm using a 3rd party activex from
InfopathDev.com
(http://www.infopathdev.com/downloads/trials/default.aspx?i=63b4ebd5831649a29ba5f26152df82d0), but would prefer native support.

InfoPath 2007 introduces the "Combo Box" control -- which is essentially a Drop-Down List Box control with additional features.

This control DOES allow the user to type into it--BUT it does not presently do type-ahead features, such as showing an increasingly filtered list of options as you type, nor does it filter the list when you expand the options based on the value you've already typed.
