Read only ComboBox

Hi snowball!
Isnt it enough to just have Limit To List set to true?
Yu should get a message telling you to choose from the list and you cant continue until you do.

terry: Netop, men vil gerne helt undgå den besked.

Den måde comboboxen bruges på gør at brugeren ikke selv skal kunne skrive noget i listen, men blot vælge et item i listen.

As far as I know, it isnt possible. But an idea would be to resizxe the combo so only the drop down button is visible. Then place a textbox (readonly) beside this. So now it is not possible to enter text. Then in the AFTER update event you can set the textbox to the value chosen in the combo.

If the combo box is bound to a field then you will also need to bind the text box.

OK. Tænkte nok det ikke kunne lade sig gøre - har heller ikke kunnet finde noget om det på nettet.

Egentlig underlig det ikke kan lade sig gøre - det er da muligt i så mange andre programmeringssprog.

thanks, hope you can use the work-around!
