'Parameters of the InitializeFilterCombo:
' TheComboBox: Your Combobox object passed as an object reference
' FilterFieldName: The name of the field to Filter passed as a string variable
' SearchType: Determines if you filter a field that
' starts with the desired text or if the text appears anywhere in the record
' HandleArrows: This controls the behavior to move up and down the list with arrow keys
' and not select the first value. Boolean variable
' HandleInternationalCharacters: This allows you to search for international characters. (a = á,N = Ñ, etc.)
' This may slow down the procedure because it does a lot of replacements. Boolean
