    ComboBox Not In List

    The Microsoft Access comboBox control has a LimitToList property and a
    NotInList event. Can someone point me to code samples that cleanly emulates
    these control features from Access?

    All of the things I tried seem to be sloppy coding practice.

      I don't get it, can you explain us why you ask a MS Access question in a
      Visual Basic dotnet Language newsgroup?

          Genojoe,

          After rereading it, I understand the message. But maybe it is easier to tell
          the behaviour than to let us investigage what that behaviour is. An answer
          is than easier to give.

              Because he wants to know how to replicate these features in a VB.NET
              application.

                  You may restrict the ComboBox to a list by setting its DropDownStyle
                  property to "DropDownLi st";

                  To verify if an item is not already in the compbox list, notice that
                  the Items property is a collection: you can invoke its Contains( )
                  method.

                  HTH.

                  Regrads,

                  Branco.

                      I don't think that contains will do that, but whatever these one does.

                      findstring or findstringexact .
