Hello,

You should have a look at the "AutoComplete" properties of the text box.
There is:

C#

AutoCompleteSource

that let's you set the source for autocompletion (File System, last URL, browser history, custom, ...)

C#

AutoCompleteMode

that let's you select the way suggestions are proposed to the user

C#

AutoCompleteCustomSource

that let's you set the list of suggestion (it is a string collection) when the AutoCompleteSource is set to CustomSource.

I hope those properties will help you solve your problem.
