Thanks for the reply. But I actually figured it out. I filter the array
controller using an NSPredicate in controlTextDidChange. I get the filtering I
need "on the fly". I was able to prevent the dropdown from appearing by
returning nil in
control:textView:completions:forPartialWordRange:indexOfSelectedItem:
Works just fine. I hope that's where the example would take me.
