newbie combo box question

[LarryMac]

I've got what I'm sure is an easy combo box question (I'm running
..Net, by the way). I'm trying to create a combo box that will select
and input the matching list entry as the user types. I've done it
with a text box and a list box, but it doesn't seem to work in a combo
box. What am I missing? Here's the code:

Private Sub cboAuthor_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal
e As System.EventArgs) Handles cboAuthor.SelectedIndexChanged
'Selects author from dropdown list

'Declare variables
Dim intListIndex As Integer = 0
Dim blnFound As Boolean = False
Dim strListEntry As String 'dropdown entries
Dim strTextEntry As String 'user entry

Do Until blnFound = True Or intListIndex =
cboAuthor.Items.Count
strListEntry = CStr(cboAuthor.Items(intListIndex))
strListEntry = strListEntry.ToUpper()
strTextEntry = cboAuthor.Text.ToUpper()
If strListEntry.StartsWith(strTextEntry) Then
cboAuthor.SelectedIndex = intListIndex
cboAuthor.Text = CStr(cboAuthor.SelectedItem)
blnFound = True
End If
intListIndex += 1
Loop

End Sub

Hi Larry,

It looks for me if you try to do something wherefore is the findstringexact
and the findstring in the combobox as well in the listbox. Maybe you can
look for that first.

I hope this helps?
