Selecting items in Combo with $CBS_DROPDOWNLIST style using keyboard, typing more than First letter

[Fenzik]

Hello,

i searched the forum for something near, but with no success...

I have Combobox control with $CBS_DROPDOWNLIST style with some items (for example (one, two, nine).

When i want to select the item, using keyboard, the items are selected only on First letter base (for example when i type "on", Nine is selected).

Is there some trick to force the combobox with $CBS_DROPDOWNLIST style to accept more than the First letter during selecting the items from the list?

Mi wanted result is the same as for example - when you type "fir" on the desktop, Firefox is automatically selected.

Thank you so much.

@Fenzik,

Do you have any sample code that we can check on what do you want to happen?

or maybe your looking for this:

BitOR($CBS_DROPDOWNLIST,$CBS_AUTOHSCROLL)

@Fenzik

BitOR($CBS_DROPDOWNLIST, $CBS_SORT)

 

[Nine]

You will have to convert your comboBox into listView :

EDIT:

Sorry, my example is not for $CBS_DROPDOWNLIST, but you can use it as start point ...
