changing the look of built-in controls? (autocomplete box)
I was just wondering, how might it be possible to change the look of an autocomplete property on the standard textbox without re-inventing the wheel? is it possible?
here's an example of the type of autocomplete i have in my vb .net program (i found this on the web, it's just an example, not the actual thing i'm using) http://www.gohotsoft.com/gohotsoft/a...lete621321.gif see how there are the lines in the lower right hand corner that allows the user to resize it? let's say i wanted to remove these lines and not allow the user to resize it, is this possible without implementing my own autocomplete from scratch? thanks

Depending on what you'd like to do, you may consider using a ComboBox and implement Daryl's strategy.
