Solution 2

Use CBS_DROPDOWNLIST style for your ComboBox.
You can set this style programatically or in the VS designer.
If you are using designer the property is called Type and you can set this property to Drop List.

You should choose the CBS_DROPDOWNLIST style (see Combo Box Styles) when creating it.
