I tried ComboBox1_KeyPress but it allows to delete the character & you can also use copy paste command. My DropDownStyle is set to DropDownList but still no use. So I did below step to avoid combobox text editing.
Below code handles delete & backspace key. And also disables combination with control key (e.g. ctr+C or ctr+X)
Private Sub CmbxInType_KeyDown(sender As Object, e As KeyEventArgs) Handles CmbxInType.KeyDown
If e.KeyCode = Keys.Delete Or e.KeyCode = Keys.Back Then
e.SuppressKeyPress = True
End If
If Not (e.Control AndAlso e.KeyCode = Keys.C) Then
e.SuppressKeyPress = True
End If
End Sub
In form load use below line to disable right click on combobox control to avoid cut/paste via mouse click.
CmbxInType.ContextMenu = new ContextMenu()
