How to make autocompleting textbox in vb6 like this one?
- by Amit Kumar Jha
hey all,
well i want to have an autocompleting textbox like the one in the image below:
this screenshot is from an accounting software. whenever the user focuses on a textbox and starts typing something the suggestions just popup under the control (as seen in the image under the Purc type textbox).This autosuggest functionality even works in the cells of the grid shown in the picture.Moreover the fields in which this autosuggest is enabled allows only values from the autosuggest list to be filled up and nothing else.
i want to emulate similar functionality in my app in vb6. so if you could please guide me in the right direction i would be very grateful.
thanks in advance to all those who take out time to reply.
