Combobox

[iranor]

I've been looking for 3 days on google and the msdn library for that, but i couldn't find any informations.

Is it possible to add a different color for each elements of a combobox? Like the first element is red, the second blue... a way to set the foreground and background color of each item?

Hello,

To do that you would need to override the OnPaint event. I have never done that but there are some combobox enhancements on

http://www.CodeProject.com

which have. Sorry that I don't have a link to point you to a specific one. Good Luck!

Check out this article which has a pretty good example of iterating items in OnPaint. Perhaps you could then adapt it to your own situation.
