Re: I need help with my combobox plsssss

In the Combobox keyPress event add this:

VB.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
 e.KeyChar = ChrW(0)
 e.KeyChar = ChrW(0)

VB.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
Private Sub ComboBox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles ComboBox4.KeyPress
        e.KeyChar = ChrW(0)
    End Sub
Private Sub ComboBox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles ComboBox4.KeyPress
        e.KeyChar = ChrW(0)
    End Sub

Regards.
