I use textbox.Readonly=true for having a Readonly textbox.

How about a Combobox? How can I have readonly ComboBOx without "hiding" or using "enable=false"?

that does not make the ComboBox as ReadOnly...
You can edit the Text in ComboxBox Text even after setting its DropDownStyle property to DropDownList......
Didnt expect this from you......

Solution 2

No there is no direct property like 'ReadOnly' for ComboBox.

Have a look at this article for it: Read only ComboBox[^]
