hi,

i have a combobox in a form. i want the user to be able to type in
something, do something else and then when he/she wants to type something
into the combobox, they have the thing they typed earlier as an autocorrect
option. how do i do this?

can you please help?

cheers
 
Alvo,

Do you mean AutoComplete? Like in textboxes in HTML forms? In .NET
2.0, you would want to take a look at the AutoCompleteSource and
AutoCompleteMode properties on the ComboBox class. It is possible in .NET
1.1, but there is a lot of interop code you need to do it, and I wouldn't
recommend doing it on your own unless you really have to.

Hope this helps.
