VB6 Combo Boxes

holmsey · 2007-01-18 14:36:37

Can anyone tell me how to set up a combo box so that the user can only choose from the items in the combo list and not type in text of their own? I tried setting the Locked property to true but this stops me from being able to select whats in the list of items in the drop down menu. Any ideas?

There should be a DropDownStyle property or something like it.
