List Box Search

[ddrew]

I have a populated list Box. Beneath it I have a text box. I want the user to be able to write in the text box and as they type so the list box scrolls to the name, assuming it is in the list box. im sure Ive seen this done but I cant find a reference to it. Thanks

Have a look at the attached sample. The code is NOT mine.

Or simply use a combobox with AutoExpand set to yes, unless you need the listbox's multi-select capability.

Settle Pettle

I'm not upset; I just didn’t know whose code it was. When you posted your sample I saw that it was your code I had used so I posted back and acknowledged your work.

smoke getting to you
