title: vb.net How to make a DropDownList with readonly appearance
body: <p>I am developing desktop application using vb.net and vs2008.</p>
  
  <p>I have a DropDownList that I don't want it interact with use when the info is locked. </p>
  
  <p>But if I disable it, it is greyed out and the text is not easy to read. </p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to make radiobutton like readonly textbox?</p>
  
  <p>I want text of the DropDownList looks black and itself is not clickable.</p>
