ComboBox

[Brian]

Hello all, I am trying to create a combobox that will restrict the user
just to the data entered as the Dropdownlist does however, I want them
to have the ability to type in the complete 3 digit number.


Here is the data is String format

101
102
201
202
203
306
308 etc etc

when they use the dropdownlist they can type in 102 but and it goes to
the 101 but by the time they are done typing it goes to the 201 due to 2
being the last numeric entered. When using the dropdown it works but
does not restrict the value. Any help would be great... newbie

Brian,

Have a look on internet about autocomplete combobox.

Here what is written alone already in this newsgroup about that.
