I need to hold a list of airports 2200 for all of them. A dropdown may not be a good fit. Can it hold 2200 items?

Also i thought about a popuplist item, but i can't get it to appear. it opens and exits the application. Any ideas of how i could make these items availaible for the user to pick?

I also thought about an autocomplete box, but it would have to be a hack using some events and search functions.

Any ideas on how i could implement one of these?

The 2200 list items is not possible nor is it memory friendly. The data slows down the application when used in this this manner and it doesn't scroll.

So the only two i would think could work would be a popuplist which i can't figure out how to use.

or an autocomplete list.

Ok, so i figured out how to do a partial filtering thing when the user clicks the search button, but there are usually one or more airports matching the letters. That means i need to use the popuplist to tell the user there are more the one returns.

Has anyone figured out how to use the popuplist yet?

What is popuplist?

Like a drop down list of choices.  Like that from a ComboBox or pop-up menu.  It inherits from base Diaglog class so that it can be placed independently from the current view's layout.
