Somebody emailed me on how to create an AutoComplete ComboBox using VB 6.0. I have actually created this kind of code but using VB.NET entitled “Autocomplete ComboBox in DataGridView Control”.

I have taken the code off the net and modified it to suit my needs. Most of the example on the internet does not include database so I decided to add a database so it would be easy for you to understand on how to retrieve the record directly database table.

The code here will simply auto complete the name in a ComboBox as you type.

Virus note: All files are scanned once-a-day by SourceCodester.com for viruses, but new viruses come out every day, so no prevention program can catch 100% of them.

FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, PLEASE:

1. Re-scan downloaded files using your personal virus checker before using it.
2. NEVER, EVER run compiled files (.exe's, .ocx's, .dll's etc.)--only run source code.
