ReadOnly ComboBoxAdv

How can I make a ComboBoxAdv ReadOnly (i.e, the control remains enabled, but the selected item cannot be changed.) Thanx

Hi Omar, Well you can do that by listening to the BeforePopUp event of the PopupContainer which controls the dropdown of the ComboBoxAdv. Arun

Greetings, OK.. that was great. NOW the user can not dropdown the cmbo BUT the user can still write text inside the TextBox portion. I tried setting the cbo.TextBox.Readonly = True but all that did is to make the control's color as if its DISABLED and still you could write text inside it. How can I make the textbox portion ReadOnly just like a normal textbox. Thanx

Omar, To disable typing into the ComboBoxAdv, you need to set the DropDownStyle property to DropDownList. Arun
