Is it possible to use the combobox control with partial string entry? So if my select list contains the values Josh, Sam, Mary and the user inputs 's', Josh and Sam are returned in the list.

Thanks
Josh

Never used it, but this might do what you want:

I have been trying unsuccessfully to get doQuery to work in tis way. Does anyone have an example of this?

BTW, here is my code:

Ext.onReady(function(){
var converted = new Ext.form.ComboBox({
typeAhead: true,
triggerAction: 'all',
transform:'cbDetailUnitId',
minListWidth: 440,
minChars: 0,
width: 440,
forceSelection:true,
title: 'Please select one',
resizable:true,
allowBlank:true
});
converted.on('beforequery', function() {
converted.doQuery(converted.getValue(), true)
});
});

Thanks
Josh
