As much as 10 years ago we had a combobox that would display, in a
dropdownlist (not a dropdown where you can enter code in a textbox element
of the cbox), a series of items that would be accessible by striking keys in
sequence. So you would strike 'b', 'e', 'r', 'n' and you would get to
'bernie' not 'norman', and not 'bat' if 'bat' were followed by 'bernie' in
the list.
I have yet to find this simple functionality in vb .net, not in the standard
combobox, not in Infragistics, not in C1, not anywhere. Wherever I have
been sent, the cbox is flawed. Why can't this be done?
Anyone know of a combobox that will solve this simple problem - please don't
send me after flawed code, like 'it works except....; or 'it works but you
have to follow the keystrokes by striking the tab key (didn't have to 10
years ago).
Thanks for any help.

Hi Bernie,
I also saw some code from which I thought: Is that real the solution for
this?
I have seen ver few documented bugs from the dotnet combobox textbox, while
we all who are active in the dotnet newsgroups have seen that there are
often problems with is.
However there is one documented and that is the one which says that the
first character entered in a combobox textbox is not correct processed.
After the second one it will it says. (But the text is not clear for me if
that will be always correct or everytime again false when done).
I would make you attent on that because I think it has to do with your
problem.

This is for a Win form.
My combo box DropDownStyle is set to simple. When the user types in a 3
character string in the combo box, the closest item in the collection is
shown, right below where the user typed in the 3 character string.
When the user leaves the combo box I want it to automatically select the
item in the collection that is right below where the user typed in the 3
character string.

in visual studio 2005 express VB I found mention of drop style for listbox
but so far my searches came up empty as to how and what they are.
I was to set height and I figure I can probably do something with setting
height during the focus events to simulate drop down list
However if there are drop down list style or dropdown list then it would be
better for to use them.
