Can you just display the data from the drop down list in a label? It sounds like you do not need the drop down list functionality so why use it?

how about combobox.enable d = false

or listbox.enabled = false

Thanx 4r reply. Dere is an asp.net form(contains textbox, dropdownlist etc.) user submits it. when user searches records, it is being displayed on the same form in respective controls(not using gridview for showing record) and controls are being made read only. now i want 2 make dropdown list readonly. "enabled=fa lse" property makes it readonly but its disabled which not looking good.

Thanks 4r reply.But i am using dropdownlist and "enabled= false" not makes readonly.it's disabling control.
