Combobox Autocomplete

I'm working with C# in Visual Studio 2005. I have a combobox with
AutoCompleteSou rce = ListItems and DropDownStyle = DropDown. I want users to
be able to type in the combobox and the control to autocomplete (Append
AutoCompleteMod e), but have their options limited to the control's ListItems.
Right now the autocomplete works fine, but they can type anything that isn't
in the list. Is there an easy way to set the control to do this or am I going
to have to write code to verify what was typed during TextUpdate or another
event?

Everyone misses the point on this - what we need is a combobox autocomplete that is a dropdownlist only. When in dropdown mode, you can enter text - making that autocomplete is trivial. But when you look at combobox controls from years ago, they would autocomplete in dropdownlist mode. And if you look at intellisense, this is exactly what happens, so obviously the .net framework can do it. Any help would be much appreciated. Bernie...

I have a need for a simple combobox on a form in one of my programs that represents city, state. I want to have it autocomplete as the user types. I have a table with these values (about 50k of them) and I'd like to source it from there. I have seen some methods out there for the autocomplete, but I think that pulling 50k in the combobox might be too slow at runtime to build a table of all those records and then bind the entire combobox...

I found some code in Google, don't remember where, for an AutoComplete combobox. Everything is great with it except for one thing. If I use the mouse to drop the list down, then start typing to find the item in the list, the visible text changes, but the values of me.Text and Mybase.Text do not change. If you use the mouse and actually click on the item, the values of me.text and Mybase.Text will change. Or, if you use the enter key to...

I have a series of ComboBox's Bound to a DataGridView and I turned the AutoComplete on for them so they list all the items in a certain collumn of the DataGridView. The problem is that when you use the Tab key to finish the Autocomplete it both selects that item and moves to the next Control in the Tab Order. I personally prefer to use the Enter key (to select autocomplete items) but many users are used to the Tab key.

Hi - I've been searching around for a fix but can't find one... There is a bug with combobox autocomplete suggestappend. When text has a slash, "ab/cd" for example, the autocomplete feature cuts off all text after the slash, "ab". Also, the autocomplete feature doesn't work correctly. It will not suggestappend when typing letters up to a slash or just move the cursor to the last character.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
