    Auto Complete?---HELP--URL feature

    Hi, I'm looking for a way in my web browser that I'm building to have an autocomplete feature so that when you enter a url into the "address" textbox it will use a list of already visited urls to complete the one you are typing. Any Help would be appreciated!

    You need to set the AutoCompleteSource to CustomSource and then add your strings to the AutoCompleteCustomSource collection.

    Nice avatar by the way. Don't you think it's just a little bit rude to use someone else's?

    Given that you didn't specify and you have a low post count I assumed that you would be using the newest version. If so then the autocomplete-related properties are in the Misc section of the Properties window. If you're not using 2005 then autocomplete is not supported by the standard controls. You'll either have to find a third-party control, of which there would be several free versions available, or else implement it yourself. The Code Project is the first place I'd look for a free third-party implementation. Also, please specify your version in future so we know what you have access to and what you don't.
