Is there a way to make a windows forms combo-box read-only?
To be specific: the user should be able to type, but only those values within the box should be allowed (using auto-complete or a select from the list).
Or is the only way to use the validating event?
Regards
Mario
You can set the DropDownStyle to DropDownList, but that does not really allow typing (but it does allow selecting with the keyboard).
If you do want the user to be able to type/see incomplete words, you will have to use an event. The Validating event would be the best choice.
