Solution 2

If you set DropDown to the DropDownStyle property then this dropdown is editable, user cal select an item or type the value in it.
you can get the user typed value by this->
MessageBox.Show(comboBox1.Text);

I think this will solve your problem ;)

It's called a ComboBox. You'll find it in your ToolBox.
