I've got what at first appears to be a really simple problem.
I have a dropdown combobox with a list of names in, the user can enter text
into the edit portion or drop the combobox and select a name.
What I need to do is to drop the combobox when the user types and find the
nearest entry to what the user entered (so if they typed A, Andy may be the
nearest entry, the list should scroll, but not select, unless the user uses
arrow down or clicks with the mouse). This should progress this way as the
user enters more text.
I can use the DroppedDown property to drop the combobox, but if I do this in
the TextChanged event, then the nearest item in the combobox is selected and
the text is put into the edit box. I've played around with various state
variables, but none of them give me the functionality I require.
The same problem was solved previously in C++, but can I get the C# code to
work...
Any help would be greatly appreciated?
TIA
