how does internet explorer Address Box work. is it a combo box?

You know how the list of previous addresses comes up automatically when you type in an adsress, how do you do this? It looks like a combo box but I can't get mine to work like that.

Hi,

I think you are too searching for the AutoComplete feature,
(first introduced with IE 5.0)
Look at this site - it describes the API you can use to implement this feature to a text- or combobox):
