How do I allow a user to scroll through a listbox by just entering a character that will take them to the first entry in the listbox that begins with the character? (i.e. user enters an "s". The listbox scrolls to "smith"). If it makes a difference I'd like to use server side web control listbox.

Thanks!
 
hi,
VB6 and VB.NET doesn't allow input in listbox however
you didn't used it so far otherwise you shouldn't asked this
question because listbox will net accept input but trying
to enter any charachter will automatically take you to the entires starting with your entered character.

like press "d" will take you to the first entry (if any)
which starts with letter "d".
