A possible option would be the use of a dictionary as a lookup. Below a quick example (windows application). In this example the dictionary key is what is type in the textbox and the associated value is a button. If the user types a text and it matches a key in the dictionary the associated button will get the focus. namespace WindowsFormsApplication1 { public partial class Form1 : Form { Dictionary lookup = new Dictionary (); public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); lookup.Add(abc button1); lookup.Add(def button2); lookup.Add(xyz button3); lookup.Add(123 button1); } private void textBox1_TextChanged(object sender EventArgs e) { if (lookup.ContainsKey(textBox1.Text)) { lookup[textBox1.Text].Focus(); } } } } Hope this can be a base for what you need.
