Disable typing in combobox

[Crane]

I would like to disable typing in a combobox without disabling the control. The user would still be able to use the drop-down list but would not be able to type.

How?

This isn't so hard. You have to capture the keypress event for that control.

private: System::Void comboBox1_KeyPress(System::Object^  sender, System::Windows::Forms::KeyPressEventArgs^  e) {
			 e->Handled = true;
		 }

Thanks lop, works perfect

No problem!

You have to do this:

myComboBox.DropDownStyle = ComboBoxStyle.DropDownList;
