Combobox readonly

[mcerk]

Hi I have combobox. I have bound it to datatable (or to arraylist. Does it make a difference?)

 

       'combo with DataTable datasource
       Me.ComboBox1.DataSource = myDataTable    
       Me.ComboBox1.DisplayMember = "DisplayMember"
       Me.ComboBox1.ValueMember = "ValueMember"
       
       'combo with ArrayList datasource
       Me.ComboBox2.DataSource = myArrayList   
       Me.ComboBox2.DisplayMember = "DisplayMember"
       Me.ComboBox2.ValueMember = "ValueMember"

 

my problem is, that I can still write in this combo (i can write a value/text that is not listed in dropdown list. I want, that user can only select values in dropdown list. How can I do that, and does solution depend on datasource type? (I'd prefer solution with arraylist).

 

 

tx a lot, matej

OK, I fugured solution:

It doesn't metter what kind of datasource I use. I just have to change dropdownstyle property.

ComboBox.DropDownStyle = ComboBoxStyle.DropDownList
