I have a userform that i have set the showmodal property to false.
this form has a list box that is populated with a huge list of items. I have a textbox in the userform that i use as a filter. so as the user types in something it filters the results in the listbox.

this was working fine but i added to the code to put a tooltip in when hovering over a item in the listbox. (using windows API to achieve)

The problem now is after i type one letter in the text box and it runs the change event it doesnt place the cursor at the end of the textbox anymore to continue typing.
I have tried setting focus to the textbox at the end of the event but nothing happens. I have searched all over the internet with no luck.

any ideas??

thanks
