I'm having trouble setting my own autocomplete list. Looking at MSDN website it says to use an "AutoCompleteStringCollection" which is from " System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection" but my error says this is wrong??[URL]..TextBox AutoCompleteCustomSource Property
Gets or sets a custom System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection to use when the AutoCompleteSource property is set to CustomSource.vb.net

I'd like to learn how I can add a bunch of strings into the AutoCompleteCustomSource property of a TextBox. Actually that doesn't seem to be possible.. What I actually want to do is to make the textbox suggest and append 7000 strings. I can do suggest and append stuff already but AutoCompleteCustomSource can contain a limited number of strings, so I have to find another way to add my strings.

View 1 RepliesI use a textbox AutoCompleteCustomSource to save recent entries within a textbox and obviously, then autocomplete them when the user enters a matching value. When the application is closed then re-opened these values are lost.

Not sure what to do from here. The sql staement should only return one result so the row will be 0.
Have a project which, in one place, has a form with a number of textboxes on it to receive user input. My intention is that, when user tabs out of one box into the next in the sequence, a checking subroutine is called via the textbox.lostfocus event. When I run the app, which this procedure is called by tabbing out of, say, txtTitle without entering any data, I get the Msgbox message, but it refers to the next textbox (txtFName).
It would appear that the focus moves into the next textbox before the lostfocus event is dealt with. Consequently, when the Msgbox opens, it takes the focus away from the next textbox and fires its lostfocus even, which is processed. OK-ing the warning here causes the initial lostfocus event to be processed and the Msgbox shows again. Exiting the sub for the second time leaves the focus in the second textbox. If I then use the mouse to move the focus back to the first box, I fire yet another lostfocus event for the second textbox, etc, etc
How can I trap the lostfocus event and deal with it BEFORE the focus moves into a subsequent control?
The relevant piece of code is:

I've been working on an auto talker, and so far, no errors. The only issue im having is to make textbox 3 to work with textbox 1 and textbox 2. I'm using Checkboxes, so You must check the ones you want. Like said, 1+3 and 2+3 doesn't work. It will only spam Textbox 1 OR textbox 2. Textbox 3 will not show up.
Heres my code :
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
If CheckBox1.Checked = True And CheckBox2.Checked = False Then
