Turning Combobox to Dropdownlist

[Jonny]

How can I turn Combobox to Dropdownlist , it means "to disable" typing in combobox?

Use the on Got focus event to force the drop down .Dropdown

However it may not be that the user wants this to happen everytime they visit the control. The may be tabbing through it and see it as an annoyance.

Sounds familiar, should do.

I'm not sure that this helps, I actually need to avoid typing in combobox. In C# this style calls 'Dropdownlist'.

You can change the "Limit To List" property of the combobox to YES so the user cannot enter free text in this field, and can only select a value specified in the list.

Unfortunately a user can still type in the value, as long as it matches one of the current values.

You might try a list control for what you want instead of the combo, if none of these other options work for you.
