Looking for enhanced listbox control

G

google

Hi all.

I'm really not a VB.NET programmer, but I can tinker. Right now, I'm
trying to help out a friend who had to have an application rebuilt in
VB.NET (1.1) withothe benefit of the old source code.

Basically, I'm looking to replace the "standard" NET listbox control
with an enhanced version that supports "type-ahead" with mulitple
characters... i.e., typing "CO" with the listbox in focus goes to
"Cookie" not "Orange".

I've seen some scattered code samples of how to this with code and
timers and building a buffer, but doing and supporting this is beyond
my current limits. (Also, a combo box is not an acceptable soultion).

So, I'm looking for a replacement control, but maybe I'm not googling
with the right keywords. If anyone can point me to a replacement
control, I'd really appreciate it. Basically, the only needed features
are type-ahead and multi-selection. SOmething that mimics the methods
of the "standard" control as much possible would be appreciated.

Thanks,

d.

Use a ListView and set it's view property to List
It supports this feature right out of the box
