Noneditable combobox

[Abhishek Bhatt]

I have implemented a combobox. I have defined 3 values in the value list and have set limit ot list property to Yes. I want user to select any one value from these 3 only. Problem is that user is still able to edit the combo field. After that when the focus gets out of it, a message comes saying "The text you entered isn't an item in the list. Select an item from the list or enter text that matches one of the listed items."

Is there a way that user is not allwed to edit this field?

I am using MSAccess with VB vesrion 6.3

Hi,

Style of Combobox is a Design Time property, u cannot use @ Runtime in codes, so set in Property sheet of combobox at design time

I am not able to find "style" property when I open the property popup of the combobox by right clicking on it. Am I missing something?
