Combo Box Only Items - C# / C Sharp

Mike L

The user to only select items in collection of a combo box.

My combo box was "AM" and "PM" in the Items property. I want the user only
to be able to type in "AM" or "PM". Right now I can type anything in the
combo box, like "QQ". How do I force the combo box to only allow items in
the collection to be selected and/or entered?

How about setting the DropDownStyle property of the combo box to
DropDownList?
