Hi Kanna, I need a combo box style that accept a data entry not just selection from the dropdown list. For example I have a database for Product. In the combo box it populated with Product ID, if the Product ID is NOT in the combo box list then I can then able to enter a new Product ID in the combo box itself. Is this possible in C#? Thanks, Bert

Hi, Sorry. Really I didn't get what u exactly need . . . Do U mean ComboBox DropDownList style . . . Do U want to add what U enter there to the list ? Is that the case, U can make the ComboBox style to DropDown and then handle the "KeyDown" event . . . Like this . . . private void comboBox1_KeyDown(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs e) { if ( e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter ) { comboBox1.Items.Add ( comboBox1.Text ) ; } } Is this U expected or anything else ? ? ? Cheers, Kanna . . .
