Solution 1

The provided code will disable/enable a textbox on button click.

All you have to do is swap cboaccount1 with your combo box and it will work.

C#

private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
     cboaccount1.Enabled = cboaccount1.Enabled ? false : true;
}

The problem with disabling a control that your trying to attach an event to that will automatically enable it is that if a control is disabled (enabled = false) that control stops listening to events as its disabled.

Is it possible to have an alternative of read only and that way the control can still actively listen for events?

This would require you simply catch the key press and handling it accordingly through the keypressdown (i think thats right) or keypressup (i think thats right?) events.
