Hi Jim,

How globally intercepting SPACEBAR in your control (method listbox.KeyPress and changing it to a blank space (forgive me, but I cannot remember the ASCII reference...)?

>Is there a way to turn off the spacebar being used to activate the DropDown Event in a ComboBox? I have fast typers who want to enter as much of the selection as needed to get the correct record. When there is a long list of names like "Jim Xxxx", they try to enter "jim wil" for Jim Wilson and the spacebar starts the selection over with "wil" and finds "William Xxxx" and inserts this name as the selection.
