Hello Steve,

ComboBox does not provide filtering functionality. This is logged as a feature request here: https://feedback.telerik.com/maui/1576473-combobox-add-filtering-support 

Both controls are different controls with different implementation, so you cannot define the autocomplete filtering inside the ComboBox control. If you want to use filtering I suggest you use the AutoComplete control.
