ComboBox ReadOnly

[Roberto]

Hi,

using vb 2005 I'd like to have a combobox in READONLY mode, like I have for
textbox.
Combobox only has enabled property. When I turn this property false I can
not select the text in the combo.

Has anyone solved this problem?

Thanks

Roberto,

Set the combobox's DropDownStyle to DropDownList.

RE: ComboBox ReadOnly

Dear Kerry,

thanks for your reply, buti it is not what I'm asking for...maybe my
question was not well explained!

I need a combox in readonly mode from which I don't have to select, but from
which I can highlight text. Taht's what I'm looking for!

Thanks

Roberto,

I don't understand what you are asking for.

Perhaps you can give an example of what would be in the combobox and how you
want the user to be able to interact with the combobox.

RE: ComboBox ReadOnly

I need a readonly property for ComboBox, similar to the read-only property of
a textbox.

In essence, make a combobox readonly...maki ng the combobox text not gray out
but be disabled. There is no readonly property for a combobox like there is
for a text box.

Thanks

Roberto,

Sorry I thought as well that Kerry had answered your question in his first
reply

Did you try what he told.
