Does your textbox support that, and if it does not how can we simulate it (like google search page)? ------------- Product: Xtreme SuitePro (ActiveX) version 13.4.1 Platform: Windows XP (32bit) - SP 3 Language: Visual Basic 6.0 |

I requested that the CJ ComboBox support simple style (no drop-down button displayed) in Office2007 mode, which would give us the benefit of autocomplete, styling, and just looking like a FlatEdit control instead of a ComboBox, but no luck :( http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16231 - http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16231 It would be a nice addition if anyone from CJ happens to be reading this ;) Or is there some other way to hide the ComboBox button (and prevent the drop-down menu from showing with F4 or other accelerators keys)? ------------- Product: Xtreme SuitePro (ActiveX) version 16.2.6 Platform: Windows XP - SP3 Language: Visual Basic 6.0 SP6 |

Nice demo gibra! I would still prefer if there was a way to use the ComboBox Autocomplete to do this (with a hidden drop-down button), for a couple of reasons: 1) The CB drop-down menu floats over the form, so it can extend off the client area of the form. 2) We don't have to maintain an array of entries - the ComboBox has all of the items in its list But I appreciate the demo - maybe I'll expand it a bit to do what I need without the ComboBox and post it back here (if I can find the time). ------------- Product: Xtreme SuitePro (ActiveX) version 16.2.6 Platform: Windows XP - SP3 Language: Visual Basic 6.0 SP6 |

Thank jbpro.
My sample work in according to request post.
 However, we can use a combobox, too.
All depends from 'how' you want to implement the behavoir of combobox.
I.e.:
- the dropdown window must be filled, and resized, 'dynamically' (as the textbox sample)?
- in the edit, you want see 'the first occurence', or only the typed text?
Explain better your needs.  ------------- gibra CJ SuiteControl v: 13.x to 19.x Windows 10 64bit VS2019 - VB6.0 SP6 <a href="http://nuke.vbcorner.net/Home/tabid/36/language/en-US/Default.aspx" rel="nofollow">VS/VB 6.0 Installer v6.8 |
