moment the user can edit the values in the combobox at
runtime

System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs e)

{

e.Handled = true;

}

IIRC, if you change the Type property to Drop List, that will disable
editing by the user. Hope this helps.

Are you using the Visual Studio .NET IDE? Type appears as a design time
property in the Properties Window.

Check out
The DropDownStyle property

in the help.

Here is an excerpt:

The DropDownStyle property determines whether the user can enter a new value
in the text portion, and whether the list portion is always displayed.

Members

DropDown The text portion is editable. The user must click the arrow
button to display the list portion.
DropDownList
Supported by the .NET Compact Framework.
The user cannot directly edit the text portion. The user must click the
arrow button to display the list portion.
Simple The text portion is editable. The list portion is always
visible.
