    Resolved [RESOLVED] How do i make a toolstrip combobox selectable but not editable

    Ok i want the user to be able to select one from the combobox but i dont want them to be able to type in there own into the actual combobox, i tried Enabled property but then you can pick one either. And i couldn't find the IsReadOnly property on the ToolStripComboBox, how can i achieve this then? Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Can you not make it from DropDown to DropDownList instead?

    In exactly the same way as you do for a regular ComboBox: set its DropDownStyle property to DropDownList. Anything that takes a single member like this can easily be discovered by reading the documentation.
