Make combobox readonly

I have a combobox which contains the different departments at my work place.
However, if the user types another name into the combobox, it is accepted. I
wish to allow only the names already associated with the control. Also, how
can I set the control so that the user can type, for example, the letter "M"
and it takes them to the first instance, which is manager? Visual Studio has
no readonly property in the properties window, and doesn't accept it in code.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Greetings, I open the "Northwind" sample data base in Access 2003. In the "Orders" form there is a "CustomerID" combobox labeled "Bill To". I scroll thru the list in the combobox and make a selection; that changes the appropriate fields in the displayed record. However, when I close the form and reopen it, the record reverts back to the original data. Even with menu choice "Save Record" the modified data is not changed. Is this normal...

I have a text area in which I have a client side javascript to process a "onclick".

There is a readonly parameter I can use at definition time <TextArea id="Summary"...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
