Hi!
I have a comboBox nearly 1000 items loading from a database.
It's AutoCompleteMode is set to : SuggestAppend and AutoCompleteSource set to: ListItems.

In my development PC, SuggestAppend working nicely. But when I move app to other PC, SuggestAppend not working. It's instantly select first word that match first letter that typed.

I cannot find a solution because it's working nice in my development PC.

Can someone kindly help with this trouble...

What I have tried:

I tried with adding new comboBox control. But same thing happens.

It supposed to be suggest words and list words in dropdown. But It doesn't do it. It instantly selects first word form the list that matches the first letter I typed.
It should not automatically select words. ComboBox should list suggest words in drop down.

The dropdown does not appear ?

The next thing to check is whether the ComboBox settings relevant to auto-suggest, AutoCompleteMode, AutoCompleteSource, are both the same on the two machines at run-time. check the contents of AutoCompleteCustomSource are the same.

If you are using data-binding here, show the code for binding.

Dear BillWoodruff, really appreciate your support. I found the problem. It was all about FONT. In my dev. PC I have Google Noto fonts as comboBox font type. But in other PC has another type of noto fonts installed. that was the problem.
