You mean to say an auto suggestion Dropdown list ?

Mr.TMG 1-Sep-13 1:50am

Are you filtering results from a database? I would just search the DB everytime the cmbox text changes {WHERE Column LIKE('%' + @SearchCriteria + '%')}

Mayur Vadalita 13-May-11 1:00am

no just visit www.justdial.com and see in it city dropdown its like alphabate filtering.

thats a dropdown in an ajax popup control, where target panel got a custom control to bring back top cities and other things...
go to the source page and use developer bar in firefox to trace the javascript...

Hi Mayur Vadalita,
I recommend you to try third party custom controls like 'infragisitic' or dev-express, if you are ready to afford its cost. By this you can achieve your requirement very easily.

As an alternate try building a custom control

Solution 2

You have to develop a User control or a custom control based on your need/design. Better would be a custom control.

ASP.NET does not provide this feature in dropdownlist. Thus having a textbox, an image and a listbox/div in one control can be used to look like a custom dropdown.
For start reference, use this:
Multiselect Dropdown for Web Applications[^]
