[Vinayak Sapre]

hello everybody,
Does anyone knows a control or workaround to get MS Access like combo box.I want to display multiple columns when dropped down however after selecting the item it should display value from only one column.

Hi

Someone asked the same question last month - here's a snippet of my reply :

I found a sample on the Net at

http://www.zebra.net/~adrianm/pages/samples.htm

Alhough I haven't downloaded it yet.

You can also take a look at

http://vbaccelerator.com/codelib/ddtoolwn/ddtoolwn.htm

- which shows how to create a drop down window out of anything.

Both of these examples require some knowledge of subclassing.

I'd recommend looking into the vbaccelerator code, it allows any control to be a drop down
window - you could quite easily use a listview / msflexgrid to accomplish what
you need.

You may consider APEX True DBList and TrueDBCombo.

I hate to use them because multi-colomns don't look standard Windows GUI but they do what you want! If you like it...
