windows combobox autocomplete speed

Question

I am using windows c# 2010
The form has a combobox.
As I type into the combobox, it looks for the items beginning with that letter.
i.e. typing R brings items beginning with R
But if I type quickly like RT, it brings up items beginning with RT.
Is there a way to control the speed you type into the combobox? Because the user may type slowly and want to see items beginning with RT?
Is there a setting for this please?
Thanks

Not clear why would you need it. Why maximum speed is bad?

I'm confused by your question: if you type "RT," don't you want to see only the items beginning with "RT" ?

If the autocomplete list is very large, you may consider a minimum text length before the list shows up. For example, you may show the autocomplete only when at least 2 characters have been typed into the box. This way the user does not have to see all items starting with R, just the ones starting with RT.
