Perhaps you can help me. I am writing a windows application in VB.Net.

My client wants an intelligent combo box with type ahead capability. For example let’s I have a list of companies. I want to find my company “MetaPro”. With the Microsoft combo box if you type in the first letter of the name it will bring up first one starting with that letter. For example I type in “M” it will bring up “Mass. Dept. of Ed.”, I then type in “E” I get the first one starting with “E” maybe “E, G & G” where I want the first one starting with “ME”.

Perhaps there is an open source solution to this or I could create a custom control. But I don’t know how. Any help or guidence would be appreciated.
