It almost sounds like you are looking for an auto-complete control but your MisUse Of The Keyboard Makes Your Question Really Hard To Understand.

Do you have a real need to go beyond the built-in AutoComplete functionality on many controls? See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.textbox.autocompletemode.aspx[^]
Also any solutions will depend upon which platform you are referring to ... is this winforms, asp, other?

I 'm Looking Form On Windows Form.
I Don't want AutoComplete Form...
1- When a User Click on TextBox, Event Call and Open a grid,
2-Data Get From DataBase,
3- it mey be multiSelect

I wouldn't know where to start with this - the only routes I can think of are built-in autocomplete dropdown, a pop-up form (which you say you don't want) or a dynamically generated context menu (which wouldn't fit in with your grid concept or multi select)
