Combobox text locking

hi,
I have a combo-box in my application and i dont want
the user to change the text in it.
It must be just visible but not allowed to modify.

Any help is thanked.

Try combo.Enabled =false
In this way the combo will be disabled, and you also will not be able to see
the items in the combo list
