Mindy,
This can be done, but not with the stock DropDownList control. There are quite a few third-party ComboBox controls that are available. Try a google search on "ASP.NET" ComboBox.
>Question: I have a drop-down list full of 4-digit numbers ranging from 0000 to 9999. Since there are thousands of records in this drop-down, I'm curious if there is a way for the user to type , "1200", and have the cursor sit on record "1200". Currently, if I type, "1" it goes to the first number beginning with 1, and then when I type the "2" it goes to the first number beginning with 2, rather than "12..". I don't want the user to have to scroll through a thousand records before finding the number they want to choose. Is this possible to get around in a web form or can it be done using a different control?
