Hi there,

I have a ComboBox (.NET 2.0) that's filled from a DataSource (actually a
Business Objects collection). I haven't found any way to make it
AutoComplete, i.e., to automatically find the closest item as I type in.

Seems that AutoComplete only works if the ComboBox isn't filled from a
DataSource. Am I correct or is there a trick/technique to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance,

-Benton

Make sure you AutoCompleteMode propert of the combobox set to SuggestAppend,
and AutocompleteSOurce set to ListItems. It should then use the values from
your datasource for suggest.

Good Luck
