Avoid Combobox Text Change

I am using a combobox in an application, where I don't want the text
to be changed, limiting the displayed text to those assigned to each
item in the control's item collection.

I don't want to allow users to type in anything into the control's
textbox and limit them to only be able to choose from its list.

Thanks...

Hi there, is it possible to avoid that a user could enter a text directly in a combobox? The user should only select a text from the list of the combobox without typing anything. Thanks

This is a repost of an item that I still cannot resolve. I have 3 combo boxes. The first leads to the second to the third. When I have selected a value in the second box, the third box shows the available information based on the second combo box selection. But if I change my mind and select a different item in the second box, after the third box has been populated, the third box still retains the information that was previously...

Hi- I've seen this problem discussed a jillion times but I cannot seem to implement any advice that makes it work. I am porting a large project from VB6 to .NET. The issue is using the combo box bound to a table as a lookup, drawing values from another table to populate the available selections. This all worked fine in VB6. I have distilled the problem down to a simple form drawing data from the Northwind database for a representative...

Hi Everyone, I am at my wit's end here. I have a combobox (combyQueryTitle) that I need to use in order to select a query for my database project. Therefore, I am using the comboQueryTitle_SelectedIndexChanged handler to, when a new selection is made, update the query and refresh the display. The only problem is that the program seems to inexplicably start with the ..selectedindex property at -1! This makes no sense to me. ...

I have a combobox with items like this: {one,two,three}. The selected index is 0, so "one" appears in the combobox text. When the user drops down the list, and selects "two", for example, I modify the Items collection to be {two,one,three} and now want "two" to appear in the combobox text. However, the combobox text is now blank. the is apparently somehow the result of having changed the combobox.Items collection. If, trying to fix...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
