Dropdownlists (Comboboxes)

[Trancedified]

Hi, I'm currently converting a vb 6 app to asp.net using VB.net. This let's the user type a letter and the combobox will open up and go to the item: like if the list had 3 items:

Black
White
Green

Typing "G" will move the highlighter to Green. Anybody have ideas for the equivalent of the following code?

Private Sub cboGlasses_KeyPress(ByVal KeyAscii As Integer)
        Dim chrKey As String
        Dim i As Long
 
        chrKey = Chr(KeyAscii)
 
        If cboGlasses.Items. = "" Then
            For i = 0 To cboGlasses.ListCount - 1
                If UCase(Left(cboGlasses.List(i), 1)) = UCase(chrKey) Then
                    KeyAscii = 0
                    cboGlasses.Text = cboGlasses.List(i)
                    Exit For
                End If
            Next
        End If
 
    End Sub

Add a combobox to your form. Additems of Blue, Green, Red, etc. Then set the DropDownStyle to "DropDown". The standard combobox control does this automatically. I believe the old Vb6 comboboxes did this also.
