Combobox

[vbnet20]

Hello



Does any one have any suggestions on changing the functionality
of a combobox. The user wants to be able to type in a string in the simple drop down style combo box and have the the matching selected item of the combobox comeup with out hitting the down arrow any suggestions would greatly be appreciated


Thanks



Hello Pirate

Sorry I left out that I am binding the control to a database table.
If I change the type of the simple drop down to drop downlist
the control will only let me type in the first letter and it will then go to the matching items in the collection so the simple drop down style is what I need to be using.

However Thanks for the Response

Have you tried setting the value of the combobox to DropDownList (it did the trick for me ) , like this :

ComboBox1.DropDownStyle = ComboBoxStyle.DropDownList
