Hello,
I am new to WinForms.
Is there a possibility to disable the Arrow for the RadDropDownList ?
When I set the component to readonly, I can still choose a new value via the arrow.
But then the value is never saved because it is read-only.
And wich property do I have to set for this?

Hi Jarne,
I appreciate your interest in our RadDropDownList control for WinForms.
May I ask you to share how you can disable the control? If I set the Enabled property of the RadDropDownList control, I can't enter any value in the input textbox nor open the dropdown by pressing the arrow button. Every element in the control is disabled. So I am missing the part how the control is disabled in your application so that I can try to find a solution for you.

Hello Dinko
Yes, I try to enable the controls that I have in my form when I press a button on a CommandBar. I have a button modify and cancel in my command bar, to enable and disable the controls.
But I confused the read-only and the enabled property. If I set the enabled property then it works.
The difference between the two modes is that in Read-Only mode, you can check the available items inside the dropdown. You can change the selected items but still see what the dropdown offers. The control and its elements won't be grayed out.
If the control is disabled through the Enabled property, the control elements will be grayed out. Thus the user won't be able to select, copy the text, or open the dropdown.
