Have you thought of docking the list box to "Fill"?

if I docked listBox to fill it will fill the groupBox area, I don't want to do that.
I want to create like a autocomplete function,when the autocomplete suggestion box appears top of every controls.
I use listBox as a suggestion box..

Could you have a listbox on the Form that has Visible = False until you need it then position it appropriately, set Visible=True and use BringToFront?

Sir, I solved it,
first draw a listbox and then draw the groupBox on form. after that just drag the groupBox on the list box. the listBox will appear top of the groupBox.... :-)

You can do it that way but it is not elegant. Perhaps you should think of using a separate form for the list box and show/hide them as needed.
