How to lock combobox so that the text and items cannot be modified/delete/erased?

Is it possible lock the combobox so that the text can not be deleted/erased or modified. And make only choose the items? Thank you in advance. Hope is it possible.
Set the "DropDownStyle" property of the combobox to DropDownList.
This will allow only items in the list to be selected and will not allow any user input:
Option 1
Simply set the ComboBox.Enabled to False - that way they can't change the values!
Option 2
Otherwise, use the dropDownStyle:
make DropDownStyle property to DropDownList instead of DropDown
For more information
Read this article (yes, it's written in c#, but the properties are the same!)
the above image displays this quite well.
EDIT
There is also a question previously asked here that asked a similar question.
You can set ComboBox.DropDownStyle to ComboBoxStyle.DropDownList.

VB.net prevent a tooltip from showing

In my program i use tooltips to help new users have some idea of what the icon buttons do. I also have an option to turn tooltips off.
There appears to be a tooltip.hide method, but i don't quite understand how to use it.
So how do i get a tooltip to not display if a boolean value is set to false.
Using the Active property should meet your needs, it's more simple than using the Hide and Show methods.
'Hide ToolTip
ToolTip.Active = False
'Show ToolTip
ToolTip.Active = True
tooltip.Hide() is used to hide the ToolTip while is being shown.
If you want the tooltips now showing you can put a condition when calling to the point that shows them:
If Not chkBoxNoToolTips.Checked Then
tooltip1.Show()
End If
Or you can remove the tooltips from its controls if they are automatically set:
tooltip1.SetToolTip(label1, "")
Call SetToolTip and pass through your control and an empty string, you could probably pass through a null reference also but I haven't tried it myself.
This should remove the tooltip for you
ToolTip1.SetToolTip(txtBox1, "")
Hope it helps

how would I get the selected checkboxes from the combobox? Give example to get the selected check box values from combo box

You can use the LovCombo, this component implements a combobox with checkboxes inside. Take a look at: http://lovcombo.extjs.eu/

vb datagridview columntype change on edit

is there a method of setting up my datagridview to show me textboxcolumns until editmode is entered? At which time I will swap some textboxcolumns for bound comboboxcolumns. And at the end of validation/exit edit mode I can swap back?
If there's a method of doing this please share some links to examples.
I wouldn't try to switch DataGridView ColumnTypes like that. Sounds like a bad time.
Is your goal to have a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn that does not display the ComboBox dropdown button when it's not being edited? If so, there are two options:
Set the column's DataGridViewComboBoxColumn.DisplayStyleForCurrentCellOnly property to True.
Create your own DGV column based on the ComboBox by extending DataGridViewTextBoxCell. MSDN has a great article for doing this with the Calendar control here.
Of course you can. In the properties of the datagridview you can drill down to the column proprieties and switch the datatype to combo box. Very straight forward and easy.

CheckedListBox VB.Net MultiExtended SelectionMode

I have a CheckedListBox with a few items and I want to allow user to select more than one using arrows keys or mouse clicks combined with shift and ctrl keys so I set SelectionMode property to MultiExtended.
In design time it is not possible I get an error:
value property is not valid.
and if I set it in runtime by doing:
clbEmployees.SelectionMode = SelectionMode.MultiSimple
I get an error too:
CheckedListBox is not compatible with multiple selection.
How could I do this?
It's not supported for the CheckedListBox.
However, I'm fairly sure that you could mimic that functionality in a ListView. Just look at the CheckBoxes and MultiSelect properties of the Listview. As far as I can tell from the documenation those are compatible.
This might be too late, but I just put my solution here; Works perfect for me:
1- Just leave the CheckedListBox Selection mode as "ONE' in property sheet.
2- in your code, loop thru the checked item in your checked Box using the checked item property as following:
For each XX as 'DataTpe' in CheckedListBox.CheckedItems
'Here you assign each checked item to wherever you want to direct to'
