Autocomplete that looks for symbols a string contains rather than starts with

Question

I\'m writing a program that at one point implements a TextBox with autocomplete. Currently, for purpose of simplicity I\'m using CustomSource manua

Answer 1

the list you are search in try use the condition to get in list or not

stringItemInList.IndexOf("txtwhatyousearchfor",StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) != -1

if you connect to a database use in you query

parameter LIKE '%txthere%'

UPDATE

after you comment

The best option I see would be to create your own implementation of IAutoComplete. Here is info on it: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb776292%28VS.85%29.aspx

Also you can do some searches for some code samples of people creating their own IAutoComplete implementations.
