vb6:Dynamically changing Combo box to text box

I have a form with a combo box. Currently It displays the available values from the database. But for a particular scenario, I wants it dynamically change to a text box so that the user can manually enter the value. Can I do it in the same form. If I use a second form,I can solve this problem. But I want to do it with little code changes. Can someone provide some ideas?

I used a combo array(combobox(0),combobox(1)) with two different styles(simple combo and dropdowncombo) and made it visible and disable at runtime using the Visible property

You can set DropDownStyle to DropDown. My bad. Indeed, in vb6 the style property can't be changed during runtime.

  1. You can hide/show desired control.
  2. Try using Locked property.
