Hi,
using vb 2005 I'd like to have a combobox in READONLY mode, like I have for
textbox.
Combobox only has enabled property. When I turn this property false I can
not select the text in the combo.
Has anyone solved this problem?
Thanks

Roberto,
Set the combobox's DropDownStyle to DropDownList.

Dear Kerry,
thanks for your reply, buti it is not what I'm asking for...maybe my
question was not well explained!
I need a combox in readonly mode from which I don't have to select, but from
which I can highlight text. Taht's what I'm looking for!
Thanks Roberto,
Set the combobox's DropDownStyle to DropDownList.

Roberto,
I don't understand what you are asking for.
Perhaps you can give an example of what would be in the combobox and how you
want the user to be able to interact with the combobox.

I need a readonly property for ComboBox, similar to the read-only property of
a textbox.
In essence, make a combobox readonly...maki ng the combobox text not gray out
but be disabled. There is no readonly property for a combobox like there is
for a text box.
Thanks

Sorry I thought as well that Kerry had answered your question in his first
reply
Did you try what he told.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
