Auto Search in Combo

[mahesh123]

Hi Folks,

I want Help regarding the Auto search in the Combo Box. When I am pressing the characters it will move to the appropraite words in the Combo Box.

For Example if the Combo Box filled with the Apple, Ant, Boy,Buy

If press the A then it should go the Apple,Ant,
If press the An then it should go the Ant.

Like this to be activate the Auto Search in the Combo.

Thanks & Regards

Well, i dont know exactly what you want, but, the easy way out would be checking the MatchEntry and MatchRequired properties.

But if you want to look Pro, you can always have an array with all the values, lets say Arr1 (of strings) wit Ant, Apple, Boy, Buy. then just use a TextBox where you'll write your filter, and youre done.

[CODE=vb]dim i as integer
for i = lbound(arr1) to ubound(arr1)
if instr(arr1(i), textbox1.text) <> 0 then combobox2.addit em (arr1(i))
next[/CODE]

That'll do
