Help with variable search

Hi Everyone,

I currently trying to search a small table that only contains the name of files, these names are then used to open the relevant file.

However I am trying to create a text box that allows you to start to type the file name and have it start to auto fill the rest of the text box, there are over 40,000 files which is why this search is required. Also as you would expect some of the files have similar starts to them so I would like the search to bring up everything starting with what the user is typing which is then narrowed down based on what they then type.

For example 3 files
1. NNNY
2. NNYY
3. NYYY

Typing just N would show all three in a list box for example, typing another N would only show 1 and 2 and a third N would only show 1.

This may be a simple thing to do, I just cant get my head around where to start, the only code I have at the moment is the code that is converting the string in the boxes to a directory location so the file can be opened so I have nothing to show. I just need help.

if you use a file list box you can set the pattern to match the textbox & "*"

Hi,
westconn1 is correct, You cannot listen the same port with other socket while the 1st socket connection is listening.

but if you are asking for socket arrays, you can create Winsock Arrays. OR
you can try CSOCKET PLUS Class, which can create Socket in Arrays. I forgot the link from where I got it, Hence I am sharing it's code.

Look at the attachment.

Not sure what sockets have to do with the topic of this thread. Posted in the wrong thread perhaps?

The suggestion in post #2 should do the trick.

I am apologized, Yes by mistake I'v replied in a wrong section..
I will repost in the correct section.
Thanks for reminding me.

-Regards :)
