DropDownStyle = DropDownList

Here's an example. This loads a list of fonts and set up autocomplete for
them. I think one of my primary sources for figuring this out was Brian
Noyes's data binding book.

//This indicates that the combobox for the font families is being loaded.
//   This is checked by the selectedIndexChanged event, which is fired
//    (I think for each entry) when the databinding is added.
private bool m_Loading = false;
private DataTable dtFonts;  //table of fonts
//collection to use for auto-completion of the font names
private AutoCompleteStringCollection m_Fonts;

private void LoadFontComboBox()
{
   //This has to be set to true when it does the databinding, or it mucks
up
   //   the fontName property of the class.
   m_Loading = true;
   //Set up datatable to bind to the combobox so you can use autocomplete.
   dtFonts = new DataTable();
   dtFonts.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("fontName"));
   m_Fonts = new AutoCompleteStringCollection();
   InstalledFontCollection m_allFonts = new InstalledFontCollection();
   foreach (FontFamily oneFamily in m_allFonts.Families)
   {
       if (oneFamily.IsStyleAvailable(FontStyle.Regular))
       {
           dtFonts.Rows.Add(oneFamily.Name);
           m_Fonts.Add(oneFamily.Name);
       }
   }
   FontFamilyComboBox.AutoCompleteCustomSource = m_Fonts;
   FontFamilyComboBox.AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.SuggestAppend;
   FontFamilyComboBox.AutoCompleteSource = AutoCompleteSource.CustomSource;
   //databind the combobox
   FontFamilyComboBox.DataSource = dtFonts;
   FontFamilyComboBox.DisplayMember = "fontName";
   FontFamilyComboBox.ValueMember = "fontName";

   m_Loading = false;
}
