I have a combobox with about 2000 company names in it. I want to be able to type in the box and have it jump to a record beginning with that letter. I want to pass the Value (which is the vendor number) and the Text (which is the vendor name) to a window that is called by this box.

From what I have read, if you set the DropDownStyle to DropDownList, it will only pass a null string as text.

Does anyone have suggestions?
