Hi,

I have a drop down list bound to a database thorugh a data reader. It reads
the customer names from data reader.

Now, I want the user to be able to type more than one alphabet & the list
becomes shorter & shorter for the user to choose a value from. For example,
suppose the user wants to select the name "Michael" from the dop down list .
So when he tabs over & reaches this drop down list, he types "Mi" , then all
the names beginning with "Mi " are displayed . When he ttypes "Mic", then the
drop down list becomes shorter & all the names beginning with "Mic" are
displayed.

The drop down list which I have now allows typing only the first letter &
not subsequent letters. Presently, if a user types "M" , then all names
beginning with M are displayed but when the user types the next letter "i"
(from "Michael) , then the list shows all the letters beginning with "I"
rather than beginning with "Mi".

How to go about doing this?

Thanks
