Selecting an item in a combobox by typing a letter

Getting Started
1

Hello,
I have a ComboBox with just 2 items: North and South.
How can I select either item by just typing N or S (wether in capital or small letter?
Every time I do it I get an extra letter, i.e. nNorth or sSouth. I need to intercept the extra s or n.

Thank you

This is really a bad example but the following code in the TextChanged event will do it, assuming “North” is listed first.

If Me.value.length = 1 Then If Me.Value.LowerCase = "n" Then Me.SelectedRowIndex = 0 If Me.Value.LowerCase = "s" Then Me.SelectedRowIndex = 1 End If

Why don’t you use a PopupMenu instead ?

My mistake. It is a PopupMenu. The solution suggested by Dale, will it work?

Most probably you should use the KeyDown event of the PopupMenu
