Long story short, you need to implement this yourself. For Winforms: 1. you need to keep a list of all items (originally found in the combo) 2. look for the text the user types (listed for combo's TextUpdate event) 3. recreate the combo's items, based on what the user typed; very likely, you will need to also "reopen" the combo (that is, set its

You have to try Autocomplete Combobox[^] Or You can try
this.comboBox1.AutoCompleteCustomSource.AddRange(new string[] {"summer", "sunshine", "Winter"});
this.comboBox1.AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.SuggestAppend;
this.comboBox1.AutoCompleteSource = AutoCompleteSource.CustomSource;Pankaj Maurya Sr. Software Engineer Gurgaon, India

Thats my Problem, i can't set the items originally in the Combo, i have to fill the Combo while the code is running.

1. Note: Pankamauria's second solution might work - I have not used it before though. 2. The combo can be emptied and filled while the code is running - that should not be an issue. Best, John
