TComboBox. AutoComplete problem

TComboBox.
AutoComplete Property is set but auto-completion does not work.

The problem occurs only if the list is loaded into the component
dynamically (for example, TComboBox.Items.Add('an item1')). If you
manually add the elements during designtime, it works.
An interesting point: all the strings that are added during the
designtime are found by AutoComplete. AutoComplete doesn't work for
others strings (run time added)

Is there any way to solve this? Is this a feature or a bug?

The problem was that I created the combobox on the form, which in turn
was created in runtime, too. That is, if the combobox is placed in
auto-created forms, then the autocomplete worked!

So, my mistake was that I created this runtime form like this:
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i
TForm1.Create(Self)
And correctly it is necessary so:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i
Application.CreateForm(TForm1, aForm)
In the latter case, even on a dynamically created form, the Combobox
will work as it should
