    I have been unable to google the right keywords to this hopefully easy
    answer.

    I bind a combobox:
            With cboOperator
                Dim operator As OperatorDataTable = _company.Operator
                .DataSource = operator
                .DisplayMember = operator.Name.ColumnName
                .ValueMember = operator.OperatorId.ColumnName
            End With

    When I run the app, unfortunately, I can still type data into the
    combobox. I only want users to be able to select from the populated
    list.

    Is my only solution to filter out keys on keypress or is there
    something much simpler I have missed?

    Thanks,
    Ross
