wildcard autocomplete combobox

[eric dugas]

Anyone know how to implement a autocomplete wildcard in a combobox?

how about just an auto complete combo box?

What exactly do you mean? The .NET 2.0 ComboBox has inbuilt autocomplete functionality. Look up the members that start with "AutoComplete".

autocomplete combobox with wildcard lookup

Sorry for not making myself clear. What I mean is a wildcard to choose the dropdown selection. Autocomplete only uses a wildcard on the right hand side.

There are autocomplete combo boxes available on the Net that were created for .NET 1.1. I'd suggest that you take a look at the code for one or more of them to get the general idea. You'd then have to use regular expressions to select matches instead of just String.StartsWith. Take a look at the help for the Regex class for more information.
