limiting combobox....Hi,
I would like to limit the options that users select in a combobox. I have the values in the list already and only want those values as a choice. I've not found a way to do this without writing code for it, i would have thought that there would have been a option to do this from the properities? Thanks, Brian Do you mean that you do not want the user to type their own list item for
the combobox? In that case, make sure the DropDownStyle property is set to DropDownList.

You can do that using databinding, but you don't write much more about what your goal is than to use the combobox.

My goal is to have a combobox, that only has values I've added to it... and the user is limited to those values. It would be nice... some users like to use the kb and start typing and have it auto fill and tab out.. and some users just use the mouse.
