HI 

I am trying to get a dbGrid to do the following, is there a property that needs to be set.  I am using C++ builder.

Lets say I have a query result displayed in the TDBGrid.

sample records (imagine this is in the form of a dbgrid)
1. aaaaa
2. abbbb
3. abccc
4. abcdd
5. something
6. thursday
7. victor

the user of the grid is sitting on any record and starts to type 'ab' the selection cursor would go to record 2 then the user types 'abc' the row selection would move to record 3 then the user types 'th' the cursor would automatically move to record 6 and so on.  How can I do this using a simple dbGrid that comes with the default builder package.  Kind of like the windows explorer window but using the grid.

Thanks
Buk
