my actual application is a list of vehicle numbers WITHOUT duplicates from a mysql database. to speedup vehicle parking system collection process, operator may enter the last 3 or 4 digits of the vehicle number. the proposed control should display all the vehicle numbers containing the entered numbers.

Which control to be used, text box or combo for with autocomplete. I have not yet written any code for and waiting for a solution.

My requirement is :
LIST FROM MYSQL TABLE CONTAINS
1) TN07CC9841
2) TN08AD5781
3) TN22AA4687
4) DL16AC9841
5) KL16AC9916
6) KK18DD4687
7) TN20AC4684

if operator enters in the control "9841" the control should display item no.1 and 4. If "468" then item number 3, 6 and 7.

please help, i want to complete the project at the earliest

What I have tried:

There's a lot of context missing from your question. Which AutoComplete box is it? What is the datasource for the data? Let's take it that you are using a SQL database at the backend, then searching inside a string is as simple as using a like statement with a wildcard lookup. Provide more context and we will be able to offer more advice.

If you show us the code you currently have here, it will make it a lot easier for us to tell you what to adjust.
