Hi,

How can I limit user to only available items in the combobox list?
By default user can choose one of the list items and also type anything
she/he wants!

Thank you,
Alan

Set the DropDownStyle property to ComboBoxStyle.DropDownList.

Hi Alan

Please set the ComboBox.DropDownStyle attribute of ComboBox.

Example:

private void InitializeComponent()
{
        ...
        this.comboBox1.DropDownStyle = ComboBoxStyle.DropDownList;
        ...

}

Thanks & Regards,

Neil Ni
