Non-editable Dropdown epiCombo (V8.03)

You can set the DropDownStyle to DropDownList on the combo box and that should only let the user pick something that is on the list.  You will need to set this property in the initialize area of the code.  It isn't on the property screen.

cmbPartUOM.DropDownStyle = UltraComboStyle.DropDownList;

A couple reminders about Epicor controls, they are based on Infragistics controls which also inherit from Microsoft controls.   Epicor sometimes adds new properties and sometimes gets rid of them, but in gneral you can figure out how to manipulate Epicor controls by visiting the Infragistics help files which are available on line.  And for the very basics (color, size, location, font, etc) help on Microsoft controls may be all you need.

Is there a way to make an epiCombo (or epiUltraCombo), so that it acts as a dropdown that has to be selected from one of the static entries?  In other words, one that you can't edit the value.(currently, you can type over the value you selected from the dropdown).


I was hoping there was a simple property of the object that could be set, as I'd rather not have to make a UD table and link the two.

I use the User Codes.  That way I can also maintain what is available easily.

I think User Codes are only available in V9.  We're still using V8.03.
