You have to set these

AutoCompleteMode: SuggestAppend
AutoCompleteSource: ListItems
DropDownStyle: DropDown
Suppose your combo has these items then you have to add them to the autocompletecustomsource also

ComboBox1.Items.Add("abc")
ComboBox1.Items.Add("xyz")
ComboBox1.Items.Add("jkl")

ComboBox1.AutoCompleteCustomSource.Add("abc")
ComboBox1.AutoCompleteCustomSource.Add("xyz")
ComboBox1.AutoCompleteCustomSource.Add("jkl")

You also need to set the source property of the combobox
ComboBox1.AutoCompleteSource = AutoCompleteSource.CustomSource

Hope this helps!
