Umm, if you don't want the user to be able to select from a list, why use a combo box at all?

Yes I understand that, what I am saying is why are you bothering trying to work out how to make a combo box read only? You apparently don't need the functionality of a combo box (allowing a user to select from a list) so why bother using a combo box at all? Why not just display whatever it is you want to display in plain HTML, then it will definitely be read-only!

Hi Melvik
I think Desp has already solved your problem, just
go through what he is saying once more.

This is my scenario:
I have a grid & some comboboxes & textBoxes witch all r binded to dataset! textBox has readonly & I set it to true & when user wanna edit the record & set the readonly to false & user can update & ...
so it is! but I cant do the same for combobox!!!

Melvik,
Maybe try Disabling the combo box.
The will prevent users making changes to it.
The default colour will change but this may be
OK for you.
