A combo box as the Access compo box

[giannis]

Is possible to make a combo box as the Access combo box ?
I care about the autofill ability of this combo box .
Can you give me some general instructions about how can make this ?
Sorry for my english ...
Thanx !

nope dotnet is less powerful than Access

So I brought up one of my apps, and my combo boxes are set to dropdown
lists, and when I start typing a letter, it pulls up the first entry for
that letter. Does yours not do that, or are you trying for something more
substantial?

You can write your own autocomplete code; are you data binding your
combobox, and if so, can you show the code?

please not difference between 'you can write' and 'access does it for
you'


STICK A CORK IN IT ROBIN; .NET DOES NOT HAVE HALF OF THE FUNCTIONALITY
OF EITHER STANDARD ACCESS OR VB6, for example VBS, VBA, ActiveX
Scripts

..NET is just not yet ready for production; it's still due another
couple releases of visual fred

it's more than the first letter in Access

in Access, we can type wisconsin or washingon or washtucna

wi tab could equal wisconsin or wihoma, but it won't answer washington
for sure

MgrList = PTBO.ManagerList.Create(ManagerName)

I receive the error PTBO is not declared . What is this ? PTBO)?
I receive the error ManagerName is not declared . Is a string ?

You are referring to the other code I posted to do autofill on a combobox.
As stated in that example, PTBO.ManagerList.Create is the loading of the
list that I am binding to my combobox. You should load your own list or
datatable instead. ManagerName is a field passed to my business layer to
get the manager list.
