DropDownStyle for a Windows CE Combo Box

dotnet compact framework:

I need a different DropDownStyle for my Windows CE Combo Boxes is there any
solution?

I have a windows CE data collactor where the user can scan in barcodes but
the user must also be able to select it from a combo box,

Now the problam is that I got thousands for items in the combo box and the
only DropDownStyle there is it the "List Style" and thats not good because
the user must be able to type in the item he/she is looking for.
So is there any way of changing the DropDownStyle? or atleast a workaround?

Thanks

You can use combination of TextBox and ComboBox control; put a TextBox
control above ComboBox.

....if you can switch to CF v2.0 (for myriad other reasons) you'll find the
property supported.
