would it be feasible to write/find an intellisense control?

here's the deal:
we have a minor part of our VB/Access 2000/SQL application which involves putting a lot of similar text into a text box.
I was wondering if there were any controls out there which worked with predictive text much in the same way as Microsoft's Intellisense (or how complicated it would be to code such a control)
i am pretty familiar with visual basic, however have no experience creating user controls, which puts me at dilemma, use someone's components, or make my own (which will probably take me a long time ).
any input on the topic would be appreciated (even input calling me a retard-hey, it might motivate me )

You might search the web to see if anyone has an activex object out there already that does this, but if there isn't one I don't see it as too complicated to create your own depending on how well you know vb.

As an example of using a text box for the custom control, with the use of the onchange event you could combine that with registry entries for 10 records for matches. Then comparing the current value of the text box to the value in each registry key and see where you get matches.

i think it will be possible to directly utilise intellisense within your control - search msdn
