combobox searching functionality

[MS123]

Hi,

I am facing a problem with combo box searching functionality. I am new to VB.NET, Please guide me in this regards...

For ex:
-------
I have a combo box having multiple items and I want by typing the item should select automatically and combo box style should be "DropdownList" type.

Let’s say I am typing "I" then country like "India", "Indonesia”,” Italy" should sort automatically. It is happening by default in VB.NET for one character.

But I want If I type "India" this should select "India" instead of "a...." because my last character is a. in VB.Net it is selecting country like starts with "a”. But I want the full typing option should be present for the combo box.

Please help in this regards.

Thanks,
MS
