I have a client who like his list boxes incremental search working a certain way - 1. he can type as slowly as he wants and 2. his incremental search can include spaces. So on most forms what I do is have a textbox and a separate listbox. As he types in the text box, I use the interactive change event to find the right place on the list box. he then can click on the listbox and it replaces the textbox value with the listbox value clicked on.

having said that he wants me to have the same functionality in a grid. is there a way i can have a text box in a grid such that when the user enters the text box, it displays a list box immediately below the textbox? the listbox need not be part of the grid. i have no idea how to place the listbox immediately below the current row since i don't know of a way to find the value for this.grid.currentrow.top? i could never get regular listboxes/combo boxes to work for incremental search that contains spaces such as "A J" to find "A Johnson"

thanks,

nancy
