Hi,
I'm want to make a combobox with multi-select features. I know I should use a list box for this but a listbox does not have some of the features of a combobox and is not as aesthetically pleasing. I would like to create a box with the features of a listbox like MatchEntry so I can start typing a name. But I also need teh ability to select multiple items from the list. Ideally I would like a listbox that is 1 row thick with a dropdown that I can select multiple items from.
I'm not asking for someone to write the code for this but I am asking what might be the best way of going about doing this. I thought about using a combination of a listbox and combobox. I am not an expert but I'm keen to learn and since there are plenty of experts on here I thought they might be able to tell me if it's possible. Or a better method. Or If I shouldn't bother. That sort of thing.
Kind regards
