Yes it is possible.

Set the DropDownStyle property to DropDownList,
AutoCompleteMode to Suggest,
AutoCompletesource to ListItems.

Almost...you can't use DropDownList with AutoCompleteMode.Suggest - the combo must set to DropDown and then the other two will work just fine.

you can't use DropDownList with AutoCompleteMode.Suggest

DropDownList and Suggest works fine.

If you set ComboBoxStyle to DropDownList, the list displays only if AutoCompleteMode is Suggest or SuggestAppend.
