ImageCombo and locking list

[Anonymous]

I am working with an ImageCombo control so I can include a list as well as
images but I am not able to lock the list so that the user can only select
the items in the list as defined by the program. I can Lock the list but I
then cannot edit the current text and the text and image always highlight
when selecting.

Is there a way to set the ImageCombo items so the user can only pick the
predefined list items and not type them in. I was using Combo control and
there was an option to set STYLE = 2 (dropdown list). I don't see this for
ImageCombo.

Am I missing something or do I need a different control?

Hi Rob,

Try using a Listbox rather than a ComboBox.

As far as I've investigated, nothing changes but:
the appearance of the control when it is dropped into the Form
and
you can no longer type into it.

I am talking about IMAGECOMBO not Combo that allows you to add images to the
combo list. An example of an ImageCombo is the Drives available when you do
a save...The SAVE IN is a ImageCombo with pictures and indents. I can't see
how to lock the list so the user can't edit. I could but if I lock it I
can't have another control modify the selected item. I will do some more
investigating....maybe I am missing something obvious.

Sure you can, lock it down by using a run time lock engaged by a mouse event
or keydown. This way it is only locked when the user is trying to interact
with it, not when your code wants to change it.
