Hello, I have a combox that I am trying to get to work in the following
fashion.
As you type in the combox that the item that matches what you are type is
selected.
as you type a last name:
Leyman
when L is typed
'Laner' is selected (first item that starts with L)
When Le is Typed
'Leans' is selected (first items that starts with La)
When Ley is Typed
'Ley' is selected (first items that starts with Lay)
etc.
Am I using the wrong control. setting the combobox property to DropDownList
comes close but it does not allow for typing the name it only goes to the
first letter in the Item (i.e. 'L')
Any suggestions will be greately appreciated.
Thanks,
Chuck

Hi Peter,
Everyone misses the point on this - what he wants is a dropdownlist that
autocompletes.

Hi,
It can be done almost in the same manner. You just need a global string
where you save the user's input and then in KeyUp event you search for it in
combobox and set the appropriate index.

Hi Peter,
I wish it were that simple. I've tried it and it doesn't work.
Can you have a crack at it? If you find a solution, please let me know.

The scenario is that of the employees table wherein there's an EmployeeId
and a ReportsTo field in the same table. The combobox is one in a datagrid
view that lets you select an employee from the employees table to fill in
the reportsto field, but since a person can't report to himself. I'm
wondering how to exclude the EmployeeId of the selected record from the
dropdown list of the combox. Ideally I think it would be to apply a filter

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
