Yes indeed,   i did play around with that last night, and got it to work
with the  Tedit and a Tlistbox
so problem solved :)

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
