I am trying to duplicate something I have used on another software that I think was programmed in VB.

I would like to move to the next record in my combo box by entering the same key.

Example:
If in the combo box list I have
Scoop
Slice
Stalk
Stick

When I enter "S" Scoop comes up in my Combo box. For me to go to Stick I either have to type "Sti" to get stick to come up, or use my mouse.

I would like to program it by using the same key "S" that it would bring up the next record in the combo box. If I use the same key "S" four times it would bring up the record Stick.


I need help!!! Any ideas??? Thank you in advance.
 
It isn't possible using combo box. Use list box. It allows to select object items like do you want to do it, but it's impossible to choose item by typing two or more chars.
