Listbox How can I find item starting with example be doing keypress?

Question

Hallo!

If I have a listBox with 4 items (Beatles, Bruce Springsteen, Scooter, Eagles) and
press "b" in my listBox, SelectedItem will select the first item on "b".
If I press "be" in my listBox, It will select Eagles and not Beatles like Windows Explorer will do.

How can I press more characters and find the item with these characters?
I want my listBox to work like Windows Explorer does.

Example:
----------------------------

ListBox with follow items:
Beatles
Bruce Springsteen
Eagles
Scooter

Here is my wishes:
"b" = Beatles
"be" = Beatles
"br" = Bruce Springsteen
"e" = Eagles

--------------------------------------

Can somebody help me please?

Thanks

I found my own way to do this! You must have a ListBox on a form. Here is my code: public class Form1 : System.Windows.Forms.Form { // Textvariable to save the KeyPress characters. public string KeyPressSearch = ; // Timer to do the search in listBox. private System.Windows.Forms.Timer timKeyPressSearch; public Form1() { // // Required for Windows Form Designer support // InitializeComponent(); } private void InitializeComponent() { this .timKeyPressSearch = new System.Windows.Forms.Timer(); // // timKeyPressSearch // this .timKeyPressSearch.Enabled = false ; this .timKeyPressSearch.Interval = 1000; this .timKeyPressSearch.Tick += new EventHandler(timKeyPressSearch_Tick); } private void listBox1_KeyPress( object sender KeyPressEventArgs e) { timKeyPressSearch.Enabled = true ; e.Handled = true ; KeyPressSearch = KeyPressSearch + e.KeyChar.ToString(); } private void timKeyPressSearch_Tick( object sender EventArgs e) { int index = listBox1.FindString(KeyPressSearch); KeyPressSearch = ; int oldIndex = listBox1.SelectedIndex; if (index != -1) { listBox1.SetSelected(index true ); timKeyPressSearch.Enabled = false ; } else { listBox1.SetSelected(oldIndex true ); timKeyPressSearch.Enabled = false ; } }

Listbox, How can I find item starting with example "be" doing keypress?
