I presume you are referring to the type of combobox that has a text field
that people can type in, as well as a dropdown list.
The Style property in this case is csDropDown. Change it to csDropDownList
and it becomes a read-only list, with no user entry permitted.
-Original Message-
Place the combobox onto a panel and disable the panel.
Or, in the OnClick, set ItemIndex to -1
