How to stop ComboBox from updating Text

Hi.

In the ComboBox drop down list we have:

AB - Alberta
BC - British Columbia
..
..
..

After the user makes the selection I want to trim all but the 1st 2
characters and redisplay in the text portion. I have tried doing this
in SelectionChangeCommitted & SelectedValueChanged but VB.Net always
changes it back to the full drop down list text.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
