Combo Box

Hi all
I set the DropDownStyle of the combo box to drop down to allow users to add
new entries, however they complain that when they start typing a value that
is already in the list it doesn't come up automatically.
Is there anything to do?

Thank you

Hi Shulman,

I think you are looking for something like the AutoComplete feature in
IE. The standard combo box does not offer this feature and hence you
need to handle the combo box events to acheive this.

HTH,
