Make a Combo Box Read Only

[Wilsond3010]

Can anyone help.

I trying to read a combo box values from a file.

But how do I make the inital text value. But also make it so they cannot type into the field.

And have to choose from the drop down list.

Try this setting: ComboBox.Style = 2

To set the initial value, providing there is something in the combo box, set the ListIndex property to 0 (for the first element in the list). If there is nothing in the list, then setting ListIndex to 0 will give an error, so you will have to check ListCount>0 first. E.G.

If Combo1.ListCount>0 Then
Combo1.ListIndex = 0
Else
Combo1.ListIndex = -1
End If

Thanks for your help.

I've managed to fix the problem. I had to keep the combo as a type 0 since I want to be able to populate the combo.text with a value.

And had to add some code to say if the keypress wasn't a up or down cursor to lock the combo text area.

Wilsond3010,

Does the Locked Property on the Combo box work to make it read only ?
