[RESOLVED] [2005] Auto complete

[LuxCoder]

How can i set a textbox to autocomplete mode where the datasource is the data in the database. The textbox is not directly bound to the datasource but is populated using adodb codes. I read the documentation and tried using the autocompletesource in the databindings from the properties windows of the textbox, but to no result.

I don't know if such a feature exists in any of the Visual Studio controls.
I guess you can do it manually by loading all the values from the database in a dataset.
Then call a function whenever keydown is pressed in the textbox that looks up all words with the lettercombination in your dataset (with .contains("combination") ) and show them to the user.
