One of my requirements is to allow the user to change/add value from right within the combobox control.  To do that I need the combobox dropdown style to be set to "DropDown".  However, when a combobox control is databound using the Control Binding Manager, my setting this property doesn't seem to affect the dropdownstyle behavior of the combobox control.  Is this by design?  Is there any way to override the dropdownstyle property?

By the way, DevForce is by far the best thing I have ever used.  It really allows us, developers, to focus on business requirements and not worry about interaction with the database.  What a relief!!!!  Thanks guys!!

DevForce enforces a very particular way to implement the cmbobox.  If you want a different way to do this, read the following post and reply:
