Hi,
I was able to use the autocomplete text box to filter out user entries as he types.

Here is what I want to do additionally - 

I want the same control to be used as a regular textbox - so after user selects an option from the listed matches, he should still be able to continue typing in the same text box. This additional text should not get lost after lost focus from the text box. Also, the selected option should not appear as a separate entity enclosed in an invisible frame with spaces before and after. It should just be displayed as normal text in the auto complete text box.

Is it possible to do this using the same control?

I was able to get an answer from the support ticket.
Just need to set the AllowCustomEntry property to true.
