Newbie: Autofill for ComboBox ?

[steve]

Hi,
I am wondering if I can easily reproduce the "autofill" effect in a combobox
that i have populated from a dataset OR in general from a static list.
I want to create the effect that when the user starts typing and the cmbBox
automatically fills the *closest* match.

I noticed that if i start typing and then try to scroll i have already
jumped to that point but i want the box to be automatically filled. Can this
be done in VS 2003?

Thanx in advance!
