Introduction

When I worked on AMSale project, my boss asked me to develop a control to speed up inputing. Such as, when you have to input bills, you have to input customer info and the problem is how to remember exactly the customer info. So I decide to write this to help inputing faster.

Background (optional)

I've read a source code in this code-project about a multi column combobox, and my control is based on that with some addition design-time programming skill I've show in this project to show how to use verbs, properties-design ...

Using the code

This control helps you to input faster and more exactly. To configure this control, you have to assign values for properties by code or in design mode.

Properties to configred : DataSource (must be on System.Data.DataTable Type), SearchField, KeyField.

SearchField : the control will use this field name to look up and return the text to TextBox.

KeyField     : this field holds the key value for represented item.

 // configure properties of control by code 
<CODE> this.fTextBox.DataSource = dataset11.person;
 this.fTextBox.KeyField = "id";
 this.fTextBox.SearchField = "Name";</CODE>

It's very simple, right?
