Hey guys. I have a problem entering a new item in my combo box. If the combobox is close and I start entering a letter, that letter is highlighted and the grid drops down. Because of this, a user might have a problem when they want to enter a new record, the will end up typing a word and be missing the first letter. Keep in mind that if the combo box is already open, the letters will go in normally with the usual autoCompleteMode.
Are you saying you don't want to combo to drop down when the user starts typing or auto complete?
I am ok with the combo box dropping down. The problem is the first letter being highlighted. The thing is that if there is an existing record for eg. car and i type c, the ar will come up highlighted just how it should. Now lets say that car did not exist, then c will be highlighted when I type it in. That is my problem. I dont want the first letter to be highlighted. When someone is typing in a new record, they will end up having the word typed without the first letter
