"Smart" edit/comboboxes

Searches with different keywords on the archives didn't net any definitive
answers.

Has anyone created (or does the base wxPython already support) edit controls
and/or combobox controls that show a shrinking list of matches as the user
types in text?  I'm thinking along the lines of the way Quicken works.  If at
the end of typing (leaving the field), if the entry didn't exist, the user is
prompted if they want to add that value to the list of possible choices.  I'm
tying the back end to a database so I want to have the user confirm whether to
create relational entries.  I'm still debating whether to have this portion
embedded in a wx.Grid or as a separate area below the wx.Grid where the user
would enter new records.

Being the typical lazy programmer, I'd rather mooch off of existing code than
roll my own solution.
