    Combo Box Autocomplete

    Ok I'm sure i've asked this question here before and I'm sure I got a solution last time as well. But for the life of me I can't find the thread with the search tool and there seems to be nothing on my Hard Drive related to it.

    I have a combo box with say 50 entries in it.

    I want the user to be able to start typing and as they type the combo box's selected item (ie. listindex) should change to the item that most closely represents what hte user has typed. Like MS's autocomplete feature in IE.

    I can do it by using code in the standard combo box events but i seem to remember a different control that did it automagically.

    Can anybody help me please?

    well, the combobox in the Forms 2.0 library does that...
