I tried ComboBox1 KeyPress but it allows to delete the character  amp  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  amp  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

Yow can change the DropDownStyle in properties to DropDownList  This will not show the TextBox for filter     Screenshot provided by FUSION CHA0S

This is another method I use because changing DropDownSyle to DropDownList makes it look 3D and sometimes its just plain ugly   You can prevent user input by handling the KeyPress event of the ComboBox like this   private void ComboBox1 KeyPress object sender  KeyPressEventArgs e          e Handled   true
