    C#: ReadOnly Combo Box

    Hi,

    I want to use a combo box that has the ability to use the drop down but not accept keystrokes. There is no "readonly" property like there is on a text box - does anybody have any ideas how I might achieve this? Ideally I don't want to use API calls.

    Thanks in advance,
    DJ

    Wouldn't a ListBox do exactly that?

    Yes, I suppose it would - however, I have to make my app look like another app that is written by somebody else, and unfortunately this other app has combo boxes that cannot be written into directly and therefore I need to use combo boxes.

    This is quite simple in VB6 using a simple sendmessage call, but I don't wish to use API's in a .NET application.

    Thanks anyway,
    DJ

    But a ListBox looks the same as a ComboBox, or at least it should.
