i have assigned the AutoCompleteSource and AutoCompleteMode property to a combobox. Now i have clicked on the dropdown the list is populated. Type some text and see the there are three suggested items populated also the drop down is populated all the listitems behind. now if i select one of the value so it is not selected because the item selected is from the list populated on the dropdown click.

Anupam,

This portion of an SF combo is no different than standard .NET functionality as the SF combo actually inherits from the .NET combobox. So the standard .NET help may be useful to learn how the combo works in regards to autocomplete and a data source.

If I understand you correctly you are just wanting to have a populated combo that take into account the auto-complete, which is obviously more than doable and should not be difficult to implement. If you continue to have issues, you are welcome to post a small sample so that we can see what you are doing which may help us get you going more quickly. Thanks. :)

Hi Anupam, and welcome to the forums.

Make sure to setup these combobox's properties as follow:
1.- AutoCompleteMode = SuggestAppend (or whatever suits your needs)
2.- AutoCompleteSource = ListItems (I believe this is what you are missing) :P
