VB_Combo_Like_VBA

VBA, Visual Basic for Applications, Visual Basic 6, ComboBox, AutoCombo

Hi Experts

in VB 6.0

Please Tell me how I code for combo just like Access form
eg. In Access Form's Combo -- when we start type any letter then nearest matching data should be selected and auto also showing during typing in the combo box

Question : Please give any idea for VB 6.0 Combo --- so when the typing start the comobo should be opened and nearest matched data should be selected if desired data partially selected user can press enter, the selected data should be entered in combo box


with thanks

I think the nearest thing to what you want could be to use the combo box as a "Dropdown list" (instead of Dropdown combo).
But this way the user can only select elements already in the list.

This property is called "Style" and is part of the Appearance cathegory.

But there is another option (which I think will do what you want), and that is to use another control.

There is one called "Solar Winds Auto Completion ComboBox", or AutoCombo.

I currently have this component on my machine, but to be honest, I don't remember how I got it. Maybe a google search could help to get it.
