ComboListBox?

[rossum]

What I want is a ComboListBox, which looks like a ComboBox with a drop
down list, but acts like a list box in that the user can only pick
from the list, but not type in a new value.

I can program this easily enough by using the TextChanged event of a
ComboBox, but am I missing something? Is there a simple flag either
to make a ComboBox clickable but untypeable or to change the
appearance of a ListBox?

Thanks in advance

Have you looked at the DropDownStyle property of the ComboBox?

Change your 'DropDownStyle' property to 'DropDownList'.

Thanks Tim and Arioch. I know something like that had to be in there
somewhere, but I just couldn't find it.
