Eh... what is an Autofill?

This looks like it is a combo with style CBS_DROPDOWN (the 2). In The GUI 
Loft, that is analogue to setting the Type property to "drop combo".

But from your description of how The Gui Loft version works, the Type 
property is set to "drop list". The Win32::GUI code would look like this:

     -addstyle => 0x0003,                #CBS_DROPDOWNLIST

The third type of Combobox is Type: "simple combo", or

     -addstyle => 0x0001,                #CBS_SIMPLE


If anyone is interested, how each type of control in The GUI Loft is 
created can be viewed in the files in 
.../PPM/Loft/lib/Win32/GUI/Loft/Control/ in the source distribution:
http://www.bahnhof.se/~johanl/perl/Loft/

In some situations it may be helpful just to be able to see the relevant 
constants and stuff, even if you don't put any effort into understanding 
the rest of the code.
