Is it possible to prevent users from typing in the picker control and to force them to use the look up (search)?

Hi @mdowney,

 

You can change the width of the control to 1%, this will make it practically impossible to type in the texbox, however the auto-resolve icon will still be visible. You can however try and add a custom icon if you want to.

Hope this helps :)

Hello @mdowney,

 

As per my understanding if you have such kind of requirement then you are using a wrong control. I would recommend to use the lookup control which behave exactly the way you want.
