That is a little vague. I made no assumtion other than the OP wanted to show
a list of names to the user, and have the user select one from the list. The
problem was in learning what name the user selected.

I don't understand that at all. A search on a PopUp? Isn't a PopUp some
form of context menu? There was no mention of menus that I saw....

Yes, I can agree there! (Whew!)

But, see my reply to Cor. What dialog in the .NET framework acts
as you suggest? If it is the best type to use for dialogs, where is
it in the NET framework class library? Did MSFT purposely use
'lower grade' dialogs??? <g>
