Combo Box interaction

mwcapps

I have a combo box that I've hard coded Yes No into the 'Items...(Collection)' area. However, users are able to input anything into the combo box and my code breaks when saving. Is there a property that I can set that will allow users to choose Yes or No, but not allow them to enter anything?

Thanks
Mike

Could you post some sample code? You could have default selection...

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

comboBox1.SelectedIndex = 0;

Are you adding items to the combo box?

Go to the properties of the combobox.
Change the "DropDownStyle" from "DropDown" to "DropDownList".
This style does not allow user input.

TIP: Get used to the idea that if a user can find a way to break your code THEY WILL. Put in more error correction for just about everything.

Instead of

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
if (Answer == "Yes") DoMethodA();

else DoMethodB();

Maybe something a little more robust

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
switch (Answer.ToLower())

{

case "yes"

DoMethodA();

break;
 
case "no"

DoMethodB();

break;
 
default

DoErrorMessage();

break;

}
