VB.NET Datagrid "typing" search

Ok, given that this is a windows ocx, it should be pretty easy to do
this but I just haven't been able to figure it out.

What I have is a datagrid on my form populated with various pieces of
information. What I would like is to be able to start typing and have
the datagrid move to the thing I'm typing if it exists.

For example given the list:

Ant
Cat
Dog
Dolphin
Puppy
Snake
Snail
Zebra

If I started typing "Do" then the list would move to Dog..and then if I
typed a "Dol" the list would move to Dolphin. It's the same way all
the file searching works in windows.

Any ideas how I would do this guys?
