If you want to block the ability to edit the textbox portion of a combobox you should set

 combobox1.DropDownStyle = ComboBoxStyle.DropDownList;

or set the same property using the Properties list in the Form Designer

  private void combobox1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)

      e.Handled = true;
  }
