✅ UI winforms combobox issue
Good day, I have an issue with the combobox in winforms. When I type text after clicking the arrow, it brings up both menus as seen in the image attached. I would like it to not do this and hopefully just bring up one menu like how it does for when you click the text in the combo box, and type.
It seems to lock the menu when clicking the arror so typing now shows two menus.

well it happens because of the auto complete, perhaps instead use a textbox with autocomplete instead of a combobox?
or set an event that disables the dropdown while typing
or the other way around disable autocomplete when the dropdown is open

@leowest Thank you, I ended up using this answer about 10 min after posting this:

It's one line of code and all you do is add it to the event handler 'keydown'
The reason it is a combobox is due to the fact that the people using it sometimes don't need to type. It's only one user who somehow had this weird issue but it is solved now at least
Thank you!
