how to limit combobox to items in the list
Hi Everyone,
In a VB.NET 2005 windows application
In a combobox, I need to reject the entry if the user type/pick something different that the list.
How can I limit the user to input only items form the list?
TIA
Jorge

Hi JPaulino
Thank you for your response,
For some reason is not preventing form inputting any value that I want, despite that the property DropDownStyle is selected to DropDownList
Is there any other setting that I have to adjust?

You can use the keys to jump to some item but you cannot write a new one, right ?
