Menu
So that it just allows selecting items already inside, but not allow typing/editing the text inside it?

Right click the Combo Box you want to disable typing, then click Properties from the right-clicking menu. See screenshot: 3. In the Properties dialog box, select 2 – fmStyleDropDownList from the Style drop-down list, and then close this dialog box.
To make the text portion of a ComboBox non-editable, set the DropDownStyle property to "DropDownList". The ComboBox is now essentially select-only for the user. You can do this in the Visual Studio designer, or in C# like this: stateComboBox.
Just change the DropDownStyle to DropDownList . Or if you want it completely read only you can set Enabled = false , or if you don't like the look of that I sometimes have two controls, one readonly textbox and one combobox and then hide the combo and show the textbox if it should be completely readonly and vice versa.
Set ComboBox.DropDownStyle to ComboBoxStyle.DropDownList.
