 How to clear the text in a dropdown list combo box?
VB.NET, VB.NET 2005, VB.NET Combo Boxes
When an item is selected from the list it displays in the text field of the combo box and I want to clear it without clearing the items in the list. I've tried [drop down list name].text = "" but it doesn't work since the text entering field in a drop down list box is read only. How should I do that. By the way, I'm coding in VB.NET 2005 so please give answers in VB.NET 2005.
