I haven't been coding much... if at all lately and i just picked up some VS2005 C# again and i was wondering if i can make a combobox not be able to change the text in it, like make it read-only... I have taken a while to look it over and I can't figure out the property or code to do it. thanks for your help.

You can make its Enabled property to be set to False. This way it stays Read Only !!!

ya i tried that already, but i want to be able to still go through the combobox, i just don't want the text changed... sorry if i didn't make it clear in my first post. Thanks again.Comment

You might need to work around this.
Unfortunately it does not have events which can handle changing of indexes.
You might want to use the indexChanged Event.
But before that you should create a variable to store the value of the text, and on the Indexchanged event restore the text back to the original one!!

Ahhh....
Change the type of your combobox to be restricted to whats inside it.
It's one of the properties.
Code:mycombobox.DropDownStyle = ComboBoxStyle.DropDownList; //does not allow text to be edited
