I'm re-sending this, since it seems to have been truncated completely
by the time it got to the list. Don't know what happened; the copy in
my Sent mailbox looks just peachy.

I'm helping someone with a problem concerning NSComboBox whose
contents come from a binding to an NSArrayController, and is set to
autocomplete.
The behavior: Window opens with combobox populated from its binding.
Let's say the contents are
Doe
Jones
Smith
and the textfield contains "Jones". If we start typing "Smi" it
correctly autocompletes to "Smith". HOWEVER, it doesn't *select* the
item "Smith", it *edits* the current selection to be "Smith", so that
the list then ends up as
Doe
Smith
Smith
Currently, there is no custom code behind this, it's all set up via
IB. Do we need to implement a custom -completedString:, and a custom
IB action that selects the list item that satisfies the completion?
Or what?
There seems to be a real dearth of sample code for this; there are
several very similar questions in the archives, but none of them were
sufficiently answered (if at all).
Thanks!
