Vb.net + AutoComplete in textboxes

Question

So I was reading a bit on AutoComplete of textboxes in VB.NET, but I can\'t really understand where these are stored? Is it a fully built in feature, or do I have to write s

Answer 1

first create the list to use as the custom source.

Dim MySource As New AutoCompleteStringCollection()

and then set the property of the textbox

With MyTextbox
   .AutoCompleteCustomSource = MySource
   .AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.SuggestAppend
   .AutoCompleteSource = AutoCompleteSource.CustomSource
End With

put this code in eventlistener you use for validating the input field, e.g. btnOK.Click

Private Sub btnOK_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnOK.Click
    MySource.Add(txtinput.text)
End Sub
