Hi,

I have some comboboxes in my DB, that has a big list of possible
choices.

I Want that the user could use the keyboard to "navigate" along the
list... for example: if i use the key A, in spite of writting the
letter AAA... it will choose the diferent options that begins by the
letter "A", how can i do this?

Thanx!

Set the combo box AutoExpand property to Yes.
Each additional letter entered will further narrow down the list.

It doesn't work :(

The AutoExpand property is already set to Yes (And i have tried with No
too)...

What happens is that if the user click 2 times the letter A it appear
"aa", and how i don't have any row with beginnig aa, it don't appear
anything.

What i want is, i have for example:

customer
client
capa
courting
cluster

if i click one time in "c" it goes to customer, but if i click the 2nd
time it will go to client... and so long... in spite of appear in the
combo cccc

Just a quick note, to continue to use the keyboard after getting to the
first letter of a group that have the same first letter, have the user
uses the arrow keys.

re: Selection in a combobox


A listbox control will do exactly what you want. Use it instead of a
combobox. In fact, you can right-click the combobox and convert it to a
listbox.
