Way to invoke AutoSuggest without the user input

[bhoomit]

Feature Request

I want to invoke AutoSuggest when the user does some action on some other control (e.g. click a button). Is it possible?

Could you describe your use case?

Hi
I also have similar requirement. I have requirement to have autosuggest behave like dropdown too.
We are adding a button and placing inside input box. Would like to open suggestions when button is clicked.
