Hi,

If you are using ComboBox control then by setting the “Combo type” property to “list”, you can achieve your desired result, that is the user can not be able to type on that, But if you are using a reference group control then there is no way to block the user to type on the field.

Thanks,

Ravindar, and what if she has to set up this lookup for a customer account field (CustAccount)? Do you intend her to create an enum in the system with all customer ids in it…?

Hi,

About how many elemenst do you have to store in the dropdown comboBox? Is it a small number of elements, or a wider range?

Maybe you find some tips to start here: axaptapedia.com/FormComboBoxControl
