I don't believe the datacombo responds to the same messages as the normal
combo. Others have tried contacting the manufacturer of the control (it's
not ms even if it says it is in the about), and so far have never heard any
positive successes in obtaining code to do this or other API techniques.

: ComboBoxIndex = SendMessageAny(lHwnd, CB_FINDSTRING, -1, ByVal 
sSearchText)
