Combo box - Same old problem

Hi

As we all know in VB, what is the visual difference when we disable a
text box and when we change the text box to "Read only".
Well as many others, i also need to know if there is sone way out to
make a combo box read only,
so that the text can be easily read.
At present im using the .enable=false,
but this makes viewing the text tedious enough.
Please if someone could help me out...
Thanks in advance...
