How do I get the ComboBox to automatically drop down when I start typing so that we can see the items that match what is being typed - the same functionality as the ComboBox control on the CommandBar where ShellAutoComplete = True - but for items that I have added to the ComboBox- e.g. "Item 1", "Item 2", "Item 3", etc.

Thanks

Lee

Private Const CB_SETCURSEL = &H14E
Private Const CB_FINDSTRING = &H14C&
Private Const CB_SHOWDROPDOWN = &H14F
Private Const CB_GETDROPPEDSTATE = &H157

Private Declare Function PostMessage Lib "user32" Alias "PostMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, ByVal lParam As Long) As Long

PostMessage ComboBox.hwnd, CB_SHOWDROPDOWN, 0, 0
