Hello,

I think, the ComboBox control has this feature already built in.

Hi Dave

Thank you for reaply. I am using combo Box as per your suggesting. But the problem is same, while typing in combo Box it is not opening and not showing filtered value. Please help me to resolve this problem.

Thank you.

Best regards,
