I'm wondering if it's possible to use a bound combobox where when the user starts to type in a value, it will zero in on the list values.  Currently, the only first character is matches, but I'd like to be able to type in the first character of a list item, then the second, then the next, etc.  This would then narrow down the list so I can beteer locate what I'm after.  This would obviously be for large lists.

Thanks,

Fred

It sounds as though you are referring to incremental search.  Our combo does not provide any additional functionality past the standard .NET combo.  However, if you are using the combo as a ComboBox instead of a DropDownList, then this type of behavior is similar to what you are looking for (though no quite there Smile).  You may want to look at the AutoComplete options of the ComboBox as this might get you closer to what you are trying to do.  Hope this helps Smile
