Finding Match in DATA combo?

[Leather]

Hi All,

I need to find the closest match in a DataCombo control..

I normally use the SendMessage API for standard combo's, but this doesn't seem to work with data bound combo controls..

Any ideas?

Write a generic function that takes some match text, loops through the combo's list, does a compare on each one, and returns the ItemData that matches?

for some reason this is really buggy and results in a lot of crashes

You have some attitude problem !!! Don't you think ?

Thanks "1 is a prime" but i don't want to loop through, that is why I mentioned the SendMessage API..

Not to worry, I think I am getting there slowly...

I am going to have to use post message, and work out the drop down combination..
