Heya,

I want to create a winforms app where you can assign tags to an entity. ofc I want the customer to re-use existing tags a lot. That's why I want to show them the list of tags while they are typing (similar to intellisense in VS and the tags-dropdown even here in stackoverflow ;))

  • do you have any control(s) in mind that offers this functionality?
  • can I reuse a ComboBox for this? (here I need to drop it down programatically - how?)

I want to have the taglist getting input-focus but not lose the mainform-focus, and I want it to be on top over all windows and even range out of the mainform-area (like intellisense in vs)

thx!
