How do you prevent user input in a ComboBox so that only one of the items in the defined list can be selected by the user?

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.
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.
You simply put a textbox on top of the combobox. When the dropdown should be disable, make the combobox invisible and show the textbox.
Set the DropDownStyle property of the combobox to DropDownList. This will allow only items in the list to be selected and will not allow any free-form user input.
