A small OCX that have improved functionality then Microsoft provide with his Combo. You can fill this OCX using the classic AddItem method or by providing the source Recordset or rdoResultset, the field that will populate the combo and optionally a field for storing a second value. What is new in this control is that after you load items in the combo (usual in the Load event of the form), you can just type (not only the first letter) and the combo will find the first matching item. If there is no item to match, the OCX respond with a messagebox or with an custom action(it raise the NotFound Event), depending on the MsgForNotFound properties value. Requires the VB 5.0 Runtimes.
