Auto fill-in in a combo box

[VladimirKim]

Is there a property that allows to auto fill-in the combobox when typing in, like there is in Access?

 

[AccordingToDale]

The way a combobox works in VB depends on the dropdown style property.

Simple - works like a text box
DropDown - give a list to select from or accepts user input
DropDownList - gives just a list to select from.

When you use the latter, it works by first letter only. So if you type 'm' it will go to the first item that starts with 'm'. If you then type 'a' it will go to the first item that begins with 'a', rather than the first item that starts with 'ma'.

But if you want to go further in the list of 'm', you key typing 'm' until you get to the value you want.

Simple is more specifically like a text box with a list box under it. Combo means that you can take user input or select from a list. See thread222-1098904 for more info.
