Comboboxes do not support that functionality, AFAIK.

First of all, you need to tell us exact type of ComboBox: there are different classes under this name.

It is not possible, you should choose another Control.

You can also add a button and select a value from comboBox the click on ADD_Btn and do this again for choosing another.

Why do not you just use ListBox?
You can select multiple value in ListBox.

The problem is solvable, but it depends on the UI library you use. Too bad you did not specify it in your question. As combo box does not support such selection, you can use either grid view or a list view control with only one column. Such controls usually support multiple selection.

For further detail, including applicability of this approach to the UI library you use, please see the documentation in that library — we don't know what it is.
