Hi,
The important thing to keep in mind when constructing simulated combobox widgets is to have a full understanding of the differences between the ARIA 1.0 and 1.1 design patterns, and what is safe to use and when. These are fully described here
https://www.levelaccess.com/differences-aria-1-0-1-1-changes-rolecombobox/

This is why the AccDC Combobox widgets work accessibly, because they are constructed with strict adherance to these rules.

All the best,
Bryan
