Vb.net ComboBox Autocomplete

I have a ComboBox with DropDownStyle = Simple and have bound it to a DataSet. What I want is : when I type 'a', I want my ComboBox to show only the items starting with the letter 'a' just Dictionary Program.

I have tried the AutoComplete property but it just shows a DropDown and that's not what I want

HERE IS MY CODE:

Private Sub TICKETING_FORM_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        da.Fill(ds, "STYLE")
        bs.DataSource = ds.Tables("STYLE")

        With Style_ComboBox
            .DataSource = bs
            .DisplayMember = "STYLE"
            .ValueMember = "STYLE"
            .AutoCompleteMode = AutoCompleteMode.Suggest
            .AutoCompleteSource = AutoCompleteSource.ListItems
        End With

    End Sub
Solution

  • Change this Setting

    DropDownStyle = DropDownList
