[HxAutosuggest] Tweaks to be able to use it as searchable select

[Apskaita5]

Could you add a searchable select component to your collection (e.g. https://github.com/Blazored/Typeahead)? It's the only missing component for CRM apps (e.g. for selecting a client in a form).

Hello @Apskaita5, please take a look at HxAutosuggest (https://havit.blazor.eu/components/HxAutosuggest). It is designed to cover those scenarios. Can you please add more information on what specific features are you missing?

[Apskaita5]

Blazored/Typeahead component allows for both selecting from a list and search. HxAutosuggest only allows search, not selection from a list. HxSelect allows selection from a list, not search.

If you set MinimumLength="0" and Delay="1" (this is something we want to change to allow 0) you should get a selection from list (see similar demo for HxInputTags https://havit.blazor.eu/components/HxInputTags#StaticSuggestions).

Is that what you need?

[Apskaita5]

That would be great except for two details:

• [x] the dropdown doesn't have it's own scrollbar, which is a problem for long lists (just try it with your example, it has item collection big enough to demonstrate graphical result);
• [ ] the dropdown does not appear on focus when a value is already selected, which could be misleading for an end user.

@Apskaita5 Got it. There are some additional tweaks needed to be able to use HxAutosuggest as searchable select. This is valid usage scenario and we will make the adjustments needed. If you find any additional issues, please let us know.
