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.

Hi Ken,
Tx - I have the code and I'm just about to play around with it.
Tx again for your help.

Hi Cor,
Thanks for your reply, as always. I did find some code that might solve the
problem; working on it now.
