I have a ComboBox on a form. If the form is in edit mode, I want the
ComboBox to behave normally (editable, and with a drop down -- DisplayStyle =
DropDown).

When the form is not in edit mode, I want the Combobox to display without a
drop-down button. Essentially, here it will look like a TextBox. How can I
acheive this?

For the comboBox in DataGridView, DataGridViewComboBoxColumn, there is a
property called DisplayStyle that when set to Nothing, behaves this way. Is
there any similar way to do this for the good old ComboBox?

Note: I am coding in .NET 2.0.

Thanks in Advance,
