Type-Ahead Combo Box - Visual Basic .NET

developers

I know that some developers would like a type-ahead combobox in VB.NET.
This type of combobox would automatically select the next available
match as the user types in a selection.

I've written one that I've used successfully in a few apps over the
last year and I felt it was time to share.

The zip includes a compiled dll, as well as the source code. For those
of you not sure what to do, there is a readme file in the zip as well.

Obviously I make no warranties about it's effectiveness, stability,
reliability, safety, etc. If you are nervous about using it, I
recommend using the source code, which is surprisingly short.
