I've written a vb.net app that queries addresses from feature classes on the hard drive.  I started with the Query Features sample from the ArcGISExplorer SDK.  From input in a text box, it queries a feature class then populates a datagrid.  From the datagrid you click on the address you want, it zooms you to the map and places a pushpin on the address.

This works, but I really need type ahead functionality for the user input, so that the list of candidates builds as they type each letter of the street name.

Can I add type ahead functionality to my current setup,  or do I need to use a combo box for the input field and the candidates list?  I found some sample code on a vb.net site for using type ahead with a text box (attached).  I'm not sure how to put this all together. 

I'm definitely a beginner, any patient help will be so so appreciated!


Thank you -
Donna
