Re: [delphi-en] Combobox question

Hi Perry,
If i understand correctly you wish to type in some phrase and filter possible 
results from the input.
I'd suggest using an TEdit and TListBox in place of the TComboBox.

Cheers,
Charlie

  Hi All,

  Is it possible to do this?


  i have a combobox filles with a bunch of items in it.

  ie.

  001 - my name
  002 - my job
  003 - my name is
  004 - I like my job


  what i want to do is, type in the combobox, and only show the items that
  contains what i am typing

  so when i type "job"
  it only show 002 and 004

  is this possible?


  i tried this, but that ain't working



  procedure Tfrmmanager.MyboxChange(Sender: TObject);
  var
  x : integer;
  begin
  for x := 0 to mybox.Items.Count - 1 do
  begin
  if pos(Lowercase(mybox.text), LowerCase(mybox.Items.Strings[x])) > 0 then
  begin
  mybox.ItemIndex := x;
  end;
  end;
  end;



  thanks so much

  Perry
