Ihave been looking for an LIKE autocompletion mode. can anyone help me with this.

When i enter a text in the combobox, the database should be asked for the data. all that goes well. But then i want my combobox to behave like the Suggest mode, but it doesn't work.

I Tried this:

cursorPosition = txtNaam.SelectionStart;
            string query = "SELECT bedr_naam FROM tblbedrijf WHERE bedr_naam LIKE '%" + txtNaam.Text + "%'";
            DataTable table = Global.db.Select(query);
            txtNaam.Items.Clear();
            for (int i = 0; i < table.Rows.Count; i++)
            {
                txtNaam.Items.Add(table.Rows[i][0].ToString());
            }
            Cursor.Current = Cursors.Default;

            txtNaam.Select(cursorPosition, 0);

But the behavior that this function creates is off it doesnt work like the suggest mode its a bit buggy.

Can anyone help me to get it working properly

Thanks
