Have you tried looking at the autocompletesource, autocompletecustomsource and autocompletemode properties from the TextBox (as of .Net 2.0 I think?)

Try Listbox.FindString to lookup the typed text, then use the returned index to set ListBox.TopIndex = index, which will make those items beginning with your typed text appear at the top of the listbox.
