Search in Combo

[msleem]

I use VB.NET 2005 and I want to search in combo's items . for example : the combo have many names when I start to write the first litter of the name which I want to find , the combo automatically find the names which begin with the same letter and show them in order. In VB6 I use this code : (General Diclaration) Global IgnoreTextChange As Boolean ' Public Function ComboSearch(CO As ComboBox) Dim I% Dim NewText$ If Not IgnoreTextChange And CO.ListCount > 0 Then For I = 0 To CO.ListCount - 1 NewText = CO.List(I) If InStr(1, NewText, CO.Text, 1) = 1 Then If Len(CO.Text) <> Len(NewText) Then IgnoreTextChange = True I = Len(CO.Text) CO.Text = CO.Text & Mid$(NewText, I + 1) CO.SelStart = I CO.SelLength = Len(Mid$(NewText, I + 1)) Exit For End If End If Next Else IgnoreTextChange = False End If End Function and thanks for any help :):):)

try findstring on the text_changed event. Not Sure Exactly where to find it. maybe me.combobox1.findstring(me.combobox1.text), think that should do it. Should choose the closets matching item.
