Hi,
  I have created a custom combo box control that autocompletes entries with
the code as shown below:

However I wish to override the Leave and KeyUp events of the combobox, so
that I can change them so that they call autocompletecombo_keyup and
autocompleteCombo_Leave.

It won't let me override the leave and combo events because the are in the
base
control object not in the combobox object. Is there anyway that I can get
the new Leave and KeyUp events to be embedded within my custom control rather
than the user having to add code to these events to call the new methods.

Thanx in advance
Robert

public partial class AutoCompleteCbo : ComboBox
   {
     

       public AutoCompleteCbo()
       {
           InitializeComponent();
           
       }

       public void AutoCompleteCombo_Leave(ComboBox cbo)
       {
           int iFoundIndex;

           iFoundIndex = cbo.FindStringExact(cbo.Text);

           cbo.SelectedIndex = iFoundIndex;

       }

       public void AutoCompleteCombo_KeyUp(ComboBox cbo, KeyEventArgs e)
       {
           string sTypedText;
           int iFoundIndex;
           object oFoundItem;
           string sFoundText;
           string sAppendText;

           //Allow select keys without Autocompleting

           switch (e.KeyCode)
           {
               case Keys.Back:
               case Keys.Left:
               case Keys.Right:
               case Keys.Up:
               case Keys.Delete:
               case Keys.Down:
                   return;
           }

           //Get the Typed Text and Find it in the list
           sTypedText = cbo.Text;
           iFoundIndex = cbo.FindString(sTypedText);

           //If we found the Typed Text in the list then Autocomplete
           if (iFoundIndex >= 0)
           {

               //'Get the Item from the list (Return Type depends if
Datasource was bound
               //   ' or List Created)
               oFoundItem = cbo.Items[iFoundIndex];

               //'Use the ListControl.GetItemText to resolve the Name in
case the Combo
               //' was Data bound
               sFoundText = cbo.GetItemText(oFoundItem);

               //'Append then found text to the typed text to preserve case
               sAppendText = sFoundText.Substring(sTypedText.Length);
               cbo.Text = sTypedText + sAppendText;

               //'Select the Appended Text
               cbo.SelectionStart = sTypedText.Length;
               cbo.SelectionLength = sAppendText.Length;
           }

       }
