A Combo Box Which Completes UTF-8 as ASCII - Video

This episode shows a specialized combo box for solving this simple problem:

I had a combo box for choosing employees in KDAB. It even supported that I typed in part of their names to search. However, with a Danish keyboard, I had no way of typing the names of Lukáš or Miłosz.

So, I implemented a combo box where I could type Lukas or Milosz to search for these names (observe the names are in plain ascii).
