The Microsoft Access comboBox control has a LimitToList property and a
NotInList event.  Can someone point me to code samples that cleanly emulates
these control features from Access? 

All of the things I tried seem to be sloppy coding practice.

I don't get it, can you explain us why you ask a MS Access question in a
Visual Basic dotnet Language newsgroup?

Genojoe,

After rereading it, I understand the message. But maybe it is easier to tell
the behaviour than to let us investigage what that behaviour is. An answer
is than easier to give.

You may restrict the ComboBox to a list by setting its DropDownStyle

To verify if an item is not already in the compbox list, notice that
the Items property is a collection: you can invoke its Contains( )
method.

HTH.

The first one I did not understand, now I know it

I don't think that contains will do that, but whatever these one does.

findstring or findstringexact.
