what is the Difference between listbox and combo box?..

Answer / guest

A LISTBOX CONTROL displays a list of items from which the
user can select one or more. If the number of items exceeds
the number that can be displayed, a scroll bar is
automatically added to the ListBox control.
A COMBOX CONTROL combines the features of a text box and a
list box. This control allows the user to select an item
either by typing text into the combo box, or by selecting
it from the list.
DIFF::Generally, a combo box is appropriate when there is a
list of suggested choices, and a list box is appropriate
when you want to limit input to what is on the list. A
combo box contains an edit field, so choices not on the
list can be typed in this field.
