WD ABAP : dropdown

Question

Hi,
I have made a drop down in my screen. But it has to be of "read-only" type.
When i set it to read only.... it display only the value while the selection list is lost.
The requirement is that it needs of be read only and also the selection list should be available... just for the user to know what other options were...
Can some help me how i could get the selection list when the dropdown is readonly?
points will be rewarded for all helpful answers
regards,

Hi,
I had to show a list of Vendors in an uneditable select-options - the code was like this -
SELECT-OPTIONS : s_lifnr FOR  bsik-lifnr MODIF ID dis.
*&      Form  SUB_DISABLE_FIELDS
      Disable Company Code and Payment block options.
FORM sub_disable_fields.
  CONSTANTS : const_lov TYPE char30 VALUE '%_S_LIFNR_%_APP_%-VALU_PUSH'.
Make sure we dont deactivate the List of Values button.
  LOOP AT SCREEN.
    IF screen-group1 = 'DIS' AND
    Disable everything except the button to view the list.
       screen-name NE const_lov.
      screen-input = 0.
      MODIFY SCREEN.
    ENDIF.
  ENDLOOP.
ENDFORM.
In the debug, put a break-point on the Loop at screen , you will find the appropriate name of the button. Normally it ends with the 'VALU_PUSH'.
