This will work if you set the .Style property to 2 - Dropdown List.

This will work if you set the .Style property to 2 - Dropdown List.

After setting to it, how to write the code. I want to do like same as done in VB. When popup window is displayed in VB, and when i press first letter, all the items in that list get selected and control directly goes to the first item in the list.

You haven't said what version of VB you're using.

In VB6, there's nothing to code - the combobox just works that way.

It does not work. Contorl does not go directly to that item. I have to press down arrow key. That i dont want.
If combo contains following items:

Gujarat
Maharashtra
Mumbai
Raipur
Rajasthan

When i press m and down arrow key, maharashtra gets selected. I dont want that. What I want is when i press m maharashtra should get highlighted.

Actually, I suggested style 2 - Dropdown List, not Dropdown Combo as Samycbe said. Which one are you using? I have just tested again, and 2 definitely works as you describe. The potential drawback, of course, is that you cannot type anything other than what's in the list. Is that a problem?

I have changed it to 2 Drop Down List. It does not work.

That's really weird. What happens when you first press "m"? On my system, if I add that list of cities to a combobox with style 2, then press "m" it jumps to the first city starting with "m". As I knew it would. I don't know why your would be acting differently.

Try this exercise. Create a new project with just Form1, and add a combo box to the form, and set its Style property to 2. Then paste this into the code window for the form, replacing anything already there. Give it a run, and tell us what happens when you press "m".

Option Explicit
DefLng A-Z

Private Sub Form_Load()
  With Combo1
    .AddItem "Gujarat"
    .AddItem "Maharashtra"
    .AddItem "Mumbai"
    .AddItem "Raipur"
    .AddItem "Rajasthan"
  End With
End Sub
