Proper Implementation for a Filter Control

Hello All,

Can somebody help me by pointing to an example for the proper implementation for a filter widget or by an exact explanation how to do it? Thanks in advance.

Widget features: 
Over a list of object classes to choose from during creating a new object instance (MS Word, Calendar, Contact and meny more) there is an input field where you can filter the list. This input - widget has two features:
1. When empty it is possible to click in or to press Down Arrow or Alt + Down Arrow to open a list of standard suggestions.
2. During typing in the input field the list of object classes is automatically filtered. To this time is the suggestion list not available.

Questions:
1. Which role for the input will be the correct one: textbox or combobox (or something else)?
2. How to visualize that there are suggestions available for people who use keyboard only? According to the position of the filtering input widget directly above the list of object classes to choose from and because the focus is initially set into this field, the suggestion list is not shown automatically. This would overlap a big part of the list.

Thanks again in advance for your help.

Ciao     Mario

Betreff: Re: Embedded PDFs

To the best of my knowledge an embedded PDF will lose its structure and 
semantic information, no matter how accessible it is to begin with, and 
no matter which tool is used to present it. I would suggest providing a 
link to download the PDF - as a screen reader user myself, it is always 
my preferred option for reading PDF available from websites.
