ComboBox Behavior

[sherri]

I currently have a combo box that will jump to a selection when the
user inputs some text. The problem I am having is this.

The 2-digit numerical values displayed in the combo box are padded with
a leading zero if the number is less than 10. The problem with this is
that if I try to input '01' I'll simply jump to a number that starts
with a zero. If I try to put in '02' or '2', I get '20'.

Is there something I'm missing here?

Thanks!

Without knowing how you've implemented your combo box's
jump-to-user-entered-text logic it's hard to help. If you post your
code I'll happily have a look.

That said there are plenty of very good auto complete combo box
wrappers around. Try a google of C# Auto Complete Combo Box.

Let me know how you get on.
