TripleDES Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Is there a way to make the combo box read only? Currently, the drop down box allows a user to select an option. However, it also allows them to type in the box. Is there an option to prevent this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avery Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 (edited) Tried $ES_READONLY and $CBS_DROPDOWNLIST in different combinations to no avail.$WS_DISABLED 0x08000000 Creates a window that is initially disabled.I doubt that will work either though. I guess you could write a bunch of error checking code for options you expect to get but that defeats the purpose of using a list box in the first place as you might as well just code it all out if you going to do that. I am not sure but I just checked out the drop down list in one of my apps and it also lets you type in there and I don't have the error code to support that. It makes it bomb out and crash LOL because the file you type doesn't exist like the ones I generate for the drop down list do.If you do find a solution please post it here as I could use it also. If I find one I'll do the same.Thanks,AveryPS: I searched and read all the applicable functions in the documentation and I'm still stumped on this one.
