Is it possible to change a Winforms combobox to disable typing into it?
So that it just allows selecting items already inside, but not allow typing/editing the text inside it?
Solution 1:
Set ComboBox.DropDownStyle
to ComboBoxStyle.DropDownList
.
Solution 2:
After trying ShaneFulmer's answer, I noticed that the style of the drop down was changed. This was a problem for me and apparently there is no good way of changing it. (Background color doesn't actually change it.)
I ended up adding a keypress handler to prevent adding text.
private void myCombo_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
e.Handled = true;
}
