Resolving a Combo Box to a particular item...

[BenFinkel]

I have a combo box populated with a few items. However, when the user types in their choice on the keyboard instead of choosing an item from the combo, the .SelectedItem property of the combo box isnt' filled.

How can I cause the ComboBox to resolve what the user typed to a particular item in the box?

Thanks,

Ben

Try changing the DropDownStyle of your combobox to be DropDownList.

I actually did that but...

What happens when there are two items in the list that begin with the same letter?

Will it allow them to type without jumping all over the place?

Thanks,

Ben

There are at least 50 thousand custom controls out there that will give you this type of functionality. Try doing a search on Google and I'm sure something will come up.
