I can't seem to get a combo that is bound to have a drop down style other than DropDownList (i.e. only values in list can be selected...no random typing allowed).



This is related to binding. If the combo is unbound, then when the style is set to DropDown, I can type arbitrary values into the combo.



However, if the combo is bound, the style becomes DropDownList (no matter what I set at design time).



I checked the source code (I'm not on the latest beta currently ) and in the BindingEditable property is manipulating the drop down style. I'm thinking it isn't handling the original style correctly and just ends up setting it to drop down list.



The workaround is to set the combo to ignore editing changes and manage that yourself if needed.

Bump...this appears to be a bug and I'd like to know if that is the case and that is on the list of fix

Greg, this appears to be woking as it should.  Below is a link to a video that shows this in action.  I do recall fixed something in this regard a while back, so you may want to download the most recent beta to see if it resolves the issue in your scenario.
