No writing in combibox

Question

Is it possible to make a CombiBox where you can only select the items? So is not possible to manually write in the box.

Also is it possible to via the code have the box select one of the items, instead of having to write the string equal to one items?

On the first point you can set the DropDownStyle property to DropDownList - or just use a ListBox instead. On the second point you can set the SelectedIndex property (which starts from 0) to the index of whatever item you want to be selected.
