vb.net - restricting a combobox to list values and outdated list values -


i creating program simplicity's sake records name of staff member receives phone call. program designed show old entries along creating new ones.

the problem want user able select listed name drop box when creating new entry. list show current employees. yet, when viewing older calls combobox field needs display former employees took call may no longer in list.

as far can tell microsoft control , properties there 2 options relate matter. dropdownstyle dropdown or dropdownlist.

when using dropdown user can submit name (which not wanted). dropdownlist user can submit names on list, when browsing through old entries names no longer on list not appear on respective calls (which not wanted).

i'm aware end having implement own combobox class wanted see if knew of more elegant fix combined both of these functionalities. thanks!

it seems me have 2 modes. add mode adds new call record, while view mode displays old records.

use drop down list restrict user load. when in add mode, load control current employees. when form in view mode, load employees.
