Hi folks,
I'm having some difficulties with the combobox control in VB .NET - I can't get it work properly. When I make a combobox in Access I can define it with a option called 'Auto extension'. If you're not familiar with Access it means that as you write letters in the combobox it searches for the closest item that the combobox is filled with. In VB I have tried methods like 'FindString' and 'FindStringExact', but this not match the behavior of the combobox in Access. (For instance the cursor jumps back to the start as you try to write inside the combobox).
Anyone who can help :-)

Auto complete in .NET combo boxes is only supported in .NET v2.0 to have the same in .NET v1.1 means you have to code the auto complete yourself, not impossible, but not very easy as your more than likely to know otherwise you wouldn't have posted.
It's not that the combo box isn't working properly it's just not doing what you want it to do.
