Fist load combobox with values wat you want and then
set combobox dropdown property to dropdownlist

combobox1.dropdownstyle=comboboxstyle.dropdownnlist

if you have noticed one can enter data into the combobox just like a textbox by typing directly into the interface. combobox.enable="tru/false"
just disables the user from entering data to the cmbox, what i think is the request is how to eensure that the user uses the provided options of which i dont know. however someone had suggested to me that changing DropDownStyle property to DropDownList migth do the trick!
:P
