Hi List,

I'm thinking about how to solve a problem I have on make easy the  
entry of data in the datagrid by the user.

Example. I have a datagrid with four columns.

1 Code
2 Description
3 Qty
4 Price

Now the user enters a code that will query the database and retrieves  
the values, then I insert a row and they are placed in datagrid. But  
not everyone has memorized the codes of all products, so I thought  
about implementing some kind of drop-down list where the user press  
the first letter of the code and appeared the products descriptions,  
to select it and add the row.

Has anyone tried something similar or experience which would be the  
best way to solve?


Salut,
Josep
