Sorry to ask such a basic question, actually I'm new to C#.
I want to have a non-editable combo-box on my form (where user can choose from the items, but can not edit/type a new item into the combo. The .net 2005 forms editor gives me 2 choices (i) Create a list-box, which I don't want, as I need a drop-down (ii) Create a Combo-box, but that is always editable.
In VS6, we could create a combo and then in its properties we could choose the type to be list box, but I could not find any such property in C#. Any help is appreciated.
It's better to know some of the questions than all of the answers.
Pravin.

do this
private void MyComboBox_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
if (e.KeyChar < 256)
e.Handled = true;
}
 user can´t press any key! just select
You may try also use this for textboxes that you want to get just numbers (and backspace key)
private void MyTextBox_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
if ((e.KeyChar < 48) || (e.KeyChar > 57))
e.Handled = true;
if (e.KeyChar == 8)
e.Handled = false;
}
As you see this way you can avoid doind some validations like try{}catch{}
Learn the ascii code to know the keys you are allowing or not

This won't handle the case of somebody using the mouse to paste data or cutting data for that matter. The solutions given previously are what the OP needed in his situation. In the more general scenario that you're preempting, to be successful you need to at least ...
override OnKeyDown
override OnTextChanged
override WndProc and trap WM_PASTE and WM_CUT
... being careful to allow navigation keys like Home, End, Tab, Shift+Tab and the arrow keys if appropriate.
If you just disable all keys the UI becomes very non-standard and the user will hate you and your software!
DaveBTW, in software, hope and pray is not a viable strategy. (Luc Pattyn)Visual Basic is not used by normal people so we're not covering it here. (Uncyclopedia)

Thank you DaveyM69 for the tip. Although the solution proposed by
nelsonpaixao is not what I was looking for and my current need is perfectly addressed by making DropdownStyle=DropDwonList, I will keep this solution in mind for some later day, e.g. when I need a textbox that only accepts numbers. Thank you nelsonpaixao.

WinForms doesn't come with skinnig support (WPF does) but you can use third party libraries such as DotNetSkin[^] or IrisSkin[^]

Firstly, bold text should be used only to highlight a single point, not an entire post. It is tantamount to shouting, only BOLD CAPITALS are worse. Oops, I notice that as well.
Secondly, what have you tried? Give an example of where you are stuck and help will come. "urgent! send codz plz!" (tm) is not asking for help, it is asking to be chastised.
Panic, Chaos, Destruction.
My work here is done.

I have an article about converting image files to PDF. Check my profile. As for the MS formats, there are paid tools. I don't know of any free one.

Hi I was wondering if anybody knows how to create a MSI project(Setup and Deployment project). I am using Visual studio to do this but can't figure out how to pass parameters entered on screen to my registry. Any help would be appreaciated

OK lets say I've got a form that sets regestry values. I must add an installer class to that project and then add that project to the custom actions. Is that right?

Yes that's along the right lines.
Generally your project will output a single assembly (exe / dll). That assembly may have some requirements that need to be created at installation time - in your case, registry entries.
So you build an installer class into each assembly, which handles the requirements for that assembly.
So your installer class in this case, will read the parameters that are passed to it from the msi (which the user typed into the msi gui). It will then use these parameters when creating the registry entries.
The assembly in question needs to be added to the custom actions - this is how the msi knows to look into that assembly and find the installer class and call its methods.
The mapping between the msi gui fields and the CustomActionData property of the custom action in the deployment package designer is something like this:
/MasterClientID=[MASTERCLIENTID] /LoggingPath=[LOGGINGPATH] /LogMsgsPath=[LOGMSGSPATH] /LogDbConnStr=[LOGDBCONNSTR]
The code for retrieving the parameters in the installer is something like this:
public override void Commit(IDictionary savedState)
{
string mstrClientId = Context.Parameters["MasterClientID"];
string loggingPath = Context.Parameters["LoggingPath"];

I'm very new to C#. I'm a beginner. I just need a very simple example of a ProgressBar that fills once every second for 10 seconds then goes blank and then fills every second for 10 seconds. I need this to study how it's done for something else. Many thanks if you are to help.

Listen, you have to start doing that, later on if you get stuck ask here for help ok? you are asking to post all the code, we are not your employees!!!
That is not hard to accomplish, i am sure you can do that!!!
Good Luck
