Background:In a windows form I have a combox, cboPayor, with the following properties set to:
- AutoCompleteMode = SuggestAppend
- AutoCompleteSource = ListItems
- DropDownStype = DropDownList
- Sorted = False
cboPayor is loaded in ascending sequence from an SQL table, PayorTbl.
Desired to have happen: When characters are keyed in the cbo for selection, I'd like it to match all characters keyed until the Tab or Enter key is pressed and display in the entry part the match.
Stated another way, assume ListItems contains: a, ab, abc, abcc, abcd, abcde. If a is keyed, I want it shown. If the a is followed by b, then I want ab shown. If the b is followed by c, then I want abc shown. If the c is followed by another c, then I want abcc shown.
Problem: Unless keyed quickly, additional characters are either ignored or treated as if each was the first keyed entry.
Question: What do I need to do to accomplish my desired result?
