ComboBox Problem

5 New Member
Hi guys,

How to lock the text portion of the ComboBox, but at the same time allows the items from the drop down list to be selected? Meaning that it only allows the selection of items but does not allow the text to be edited manually by users.

I already set the Locked Property to TRUE but it didn't work. It locked both the text editing as well as the selection item from the list..HELP!!!

Nway, im using VB6. Really appreciate your help.. Thanx in advance.

but if we chage the style to drop down list we cant search from the combo by more than two letters.
an another solution is write a search function to search the items in the combobox and call the function at the time of lostfocus of combobox. if the item is present then allow the text other wise not
