Oh ok, sorry i misunderstood you. Yeah i don't think the ComboBox class offers autocomplete. You might have to just implement the code yourself. Are you wanting to basically do the same thing that Intellisense does for you in visual studio?

Thks 4 the quick rep =) I tried this, it compiles ok, but the combobox does not provide autocomplete when i start typing.(the combobox items get loaded from my db) Pls help. private void cboClient_KeyUp(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs e) { int index; string actual; string found; // Do nothing for certain keys, such as navigation keys. if ((e.KeyCode == Keys.Back) || (e.KeyCode == Keys.Left) || (e.KeyCode == Keys.Right) || (e.KeyCode == Keys.Up) || (e.KeyCode == Keys.Down) || (e.KeyCode == Keys.Delete) || (e.KeyCode == Keys.PageUp) || (e.KeyCode == Keys.PageDown) || (e.KeyCode == Keys.Home) || (e.KeyCode == Keys.End)) { return; } // Store the actual text that has been typed. actual = this.cboClient.Text; // Find the first match for the typed value. index = this.cboClient.FindString(actual); // Get the text of the first match. if (index > -1) { found = this.cboClient.Items[index].ToString(); // Select this item from the list. this.cboClient.SelectedIndex = index; // Select the portion of the text that was automatically // added so that additional typing replaces it. this.cboClient.SelectionStart = actual.Length; this.cboClient.SelectionLength = found.Length; } }

Oh ok i see what you mean. All you would need to to is implement the KeyPress event of the ComboBox!! With-in this method, provide a switch case for the letter pressed (make sure its a letter ex: char.IsLetter()) in order to jump to the first string starting with that letter. Hope this helps!!

Say when u type a character, the rest is suggested by comparing with those already in the combo :-S

Sorry it took me soo long to respond Rt!! Ok well i looked over your above code a couple of times. I just tried a short practice program with my code implemented similiar to yours. You said that the SubItem isn't returning just the one subitem? Everything just worked fine for me. Heres my code: this.listView.Items[0].SubItems.Add("strSubItem"); string str = this.listView.Items[0].SubItems[1].ToString(); MessageBox.Show(str); Output: strSubItem Is this similiar to what your wanting?

hello x-box gamer. I tried the following: The part which has to make the stat column load in the datatable is not working. Actually Status is a subitem in my listview control(lv1). for(int j=0; j<Info.lv1.Items.Count;j++) { string PartN = lv1.Items[j].Text.ToString(); string stat = lv1.Items[j].SubItems[1].Text.ToString(); //I think maybe this line does not get the subitem but the whole line the the listview. But 'lv1.stbitems' is not valid in this case. SqlDataAdapter sqlAdp = new SqlDataAdapter("SELECT Part_ID FROM PARTS WHERE Part_Name = '" + PartN + "'", sqlConn); sqlAdp.Fill(dtParts); DataRow row = dtStat.NewRow(); row["Status"] = stat; //Get the err:'Column 'Status' does not belong to table' here. dtStat.Rows.Add(row); string VINval = txtVIN.Text.ToString(); SqlDataAdapter sqlAdp2 = new SqlDataAdapter("SELECT Survey_ID FROM SURVEY WHERE VIN = '" + VINval + "'", sqlConn); sqlAdp2.Fill(dtSurvid); }
