Is it possible to make the text box portion of a ComboBox (in DropDown
style) behave like a TextBox?
By that I mean can it allow the user to select a portion of text by
hilighting it with the mouse cursor and replacing the hilighted
portion?
Thanks.

Yes, you can do this by default

That's a bug in the ComboBox control.

Sorry, I don't know. Maybe it's fixed in .NET 1.1. Which version of .NET
do you use?

The selection of text in a combobox with the mouse works fine for me. I
am using VS 2003 with Net Framework 1.1

Hi Animal,
I don't know what bug it is in the combobox,
But I have seen advises for combobox bugs to use a listbox with a textbox
above it.

If you use .NET 1.0, just add a combobox onto a form and press F5. You
won't be able to select text in the combobox's textbox by using the mouse.

That's an idea!
Any idea of where I can find the down arrow icon that is on the
standard ComboBox DropDown button?

Hi,
Does anyone know a way to make a combobox "read-only", similar to the read-only property of a textbox?
In essence, make a combobox readonly...making the combobox text not gray out but be disabled. There is no readonly property for a combobox like there is for a text box.
Thx,
Jason
