make combox non editable in VB .net windows application

Dear all, i'm newbies to .net (VB) development and i've got a little
question.(i use microsoft visual studio to develop but i can code also)
i created a form with a comboxbox. When i launch it, the comboxbox is
editable. I'd like it to be non-editable. Could you tell me what's the way to
get it non-editable? (i'd like it to appear as a 'select' in html; so that
you can not type text into ;-)

Thanks in advance for your help,

Sebastien.

Sebastian,

Set the dropdownstyle to dropdownlist the same as in the webform

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...styletopic.asp

Did you know that there is a very active newsgroup for VBNet

Microsoft.publi c.dotnet.langua ges.vb

(There are as well specialized ones however not so active)

I hope this helps?
