Default Advanced Combo Box in .NET

Hi All,
I tried to implement the following in Classic ASP and it did not work properly. I hope there is a better solution in .NET.

" I have a "Combo Box" of companies.

One of the companies is "MICROSOFT".
When I press the letter "M", it jumps the first company that starts with the letter "M". What I am trying to achieve is to get to
"MICROSOFT" by pressing the letters "M, I, C and so on" on the Combo Box.

Right now, if you press "M" and then "I", it jumps to the first company that starts with the letter "I", which is the default setup."

Thanks for your help.
:)

In .NET also,you can't set the Access Key for the items inside the ComboBox.You can set for the control but not for the items inside the control.It is windows settings by default.If you press M it will jump to items starting with M and then if u press it will take to the items starting with I.I doubt you can change this.

Santhi,
Thanks for your reply. I was still hoping to have
something like a third party component.
In classic ASP, I tried a component written by
JavaScript. It worked with a small amount of data, but it wasn't good enough.

Thanks
