Could anybody suggest where I can get a dropdown list control that would let me type part of a word and get the word selected? The dropdown list in the toolbox responds only to the first character you type.
You're probably using an older version of the toolkit (since the ComboBox was introduced in a later version). So if you wish to give it a try, I suggest you download and install the latest toolkit.

have you checked out the ComboBox in the AJAX Toolkit? http://www.asp.net/AJAX/AjaxControlToolkit/Samples/ComboBox/ComboBox.aspx (try out the various properties you can set as also use with a static list) ...it is not like the AutoCompleteExtender but both are out of the box.

The ListSearchExtender might work for you; or maybe a ComboBox extender.
Refer: http://www.asp.net/AJAX/AjaxControlToolkit/Samples/ListSearch/ListSearch.aspx or http://www.asp.net/AJAX/AjaxControlToolkit/Samples/ComboBox/ComboBox.aspx

Thank you friends. I don't know why my ajax toolkit doesn't contain the ComboBox, but the Search Extender does work. Thanks.
