You are correct, combobox does not provide a ReadOnly property... I believe that one of the items on a future feature list somewhere regarding Windows Forms is "more controls with ReadOnly properties." As for implementing this now, rather than in the future, I would set the DropDownStyle property of the ComboBox to DropDownList to prevent editing of the Textbox portion. Then, to prevent the drop down, check out the thread <a href="http://www.dotnet247.com/247reference/msgs/22/110945.aspx">here</a>.
Important note: Changing the drop down style of the ComboBox at runtime will cause the Handle to be recreated. So, if you are using the handle anywhere, be careful... |
