By setting ComboBox.AutoComplete=true the combobox will show a list of all the items starting with that, but you already noticed that I gues. You are right about the event not firing after the user clicked on an item in that list. You can work around this by putting the code in the LostFocus event. It's not nice though, and I'd file a bug report about this (I don't have an account there though, still have to make one. So someone else has to).

I am trying to achieve the functionality of the VB combo box style 1(simple combo). In the VB app that I am trying to convert I can present the user with a list of the 400 or so names (mbrshp list). In VB as the user types the first few characters of the name the lower part of the list box shows names starting with these chars. When enough chars are typed in usually only 2 or 3 then the name appears in the lower list and user can select it by clicking on it. The click is an event that I can use to load the info for that name/mbr. The closest I can find in RB is the combo box which will not display the list until the user starts to type. This is acceptable. But when the user selects one of the displayed names it does not invoke a change event. If the user drops down the list and then selects a name then the change event is triggered but this is not what I need. The user would have to scroll down through the whole list to find the name. Why doesn't the change event (or some event) fire when the user selects from the list provided when they start typing in first few chars of the name?? The textchange event fires but it also fires for every char entered into the editfield. I have investigated listboxes and popupmenus also but these don't produce the result I am trying to copy. Thanks in advance.
