How do you make a ToolStripComboBox behave like a simple drop down list box

I want the end user to be able to see the value like any ordinary drop down list box but I don't want them to be able to edit/type in the text box. This is just like the "Show output from:" drop down on the VS Output Tool Window's tool bar. I don't see a simple property to enable this sort of behavior.

Hi,
In the designer, just change the DropDownStyle property to DropDownList...
That should do the trick...
cheers,

Doh! To quote Chris Farly from SNL - "I'm an idiot!". Thanks. :-)
