Non-Editable ComboBox?
 

I am quite new to VBA and I am writing a program which have a couple of
ComboBoxes and those comboBoxes are not to be editable.

I have looked everywhere on the net and couldn't find it.

How can I make them not editable so the user can only choose the
choices in the box and not be able to write anything in it?

I tried setting Locked property to True but then I can't select
anything (When I click on the arrow down it doesn't do anything).

Hope someone can help me.

Best Regards

NooK

It's not the Locked property, but rather the MatchRequired property
that you need to set to True.
