That should be the default behavior for a listbox from the control toolbox

the property is

MatchEntry Property

FmMatchEntryComplete: 1
Extended matching. As each character is typed, the control searches for an
entry matching all characters entered (default).

I have a list box that searches a directory and displays all the files
listed in that directory. I now want to add the ability to type the
name of the file Im after, and have that file if found to be
highlighted...so the user can see the hightlighted file without the
need to scroll for it....
