I'm using Visual Studio 2010, writing C++ code. I have a ComboBox that I want to be readonly, but I also want to be able to display the text string when no item is selected e.g., "Choose an Item". Displaying the text string works as expected for a DropDown style ComboBox, but when I change it to a DropDownList style ComboBox (which makes it read only), the text property cannot be set or isn't displayed. Is there any way to override this behavior and display the text string with a DropDownList style ComboBox? Thanks for any help.
