Are you saying that the user can start typing and get a possible match, but
you want them to be able to drop the list down at that point, so they can
pick a different item?

They can click on the combo box's drop-down arrow (right-side). They can
press AltDownArrow to drop the list down.

If the list is already dropped, they can use the arrow keys (up/down) to
move up/down the list, and Tab to select the highlighted object.

I have a combo box that is used for selecting items. If they start to enter
to the list and the item does come up I would like to be able to open the
window with a mouse down or cursor down event so they can see what they
want
and be able to pick it.

Is someone able to tell me what the correct procedure should be.

Thank you
