MultiColumn Combo Box read only text

[Richard Slade]

Hello,
I am using the latest version of the controls and I'd like to be able to set the text of a MultiColumn Combo Box to read only.

'm using the combo for a multi column selection so the users can see more information on a row, but the text should be read only. In your demo also it is possible to freely type into the text area.. I've had to get round it like this.. which is hardly elegant..

 

Private Sub ComboVatRates_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, _

 

 

ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ComboVatRates.TextChanged

 

 

Dim rowInfo As GridViewRowInfo = DirectCast(Me.ComboVatRates.EditorControl, RadGridView).SelectedRows(0)

 

 

If Not rowInfo Is Nothing Then

 

 

Me.ComboVatRates.Text = rowInfo.Cells(1).Value.ToString()

 

 

End If

 

 

End Sub

OK - I wasn't paying attention and have answered my own question. Should have changed the style from Drop Down to Drop Down List

Hi Richard Slade,

Indeed, if you want to prevent the users from typing into the textbox part of RadMultiColumnComboBox, you should set the DropDownStyle to DropDownList.
