Hello,
I try to format the text of a combobox with DropDownStyle "DropDown".
I just mean the text which is displayed when the combobox isn't touched.
Usually it displays the ToString() method of the SelectedItem. But I want to
override the it.
Overriding the ToString() of the class of the SelectedItem doesn't help
because I can't touch the class.
Maybe I have to rewrite the WndProc WM_PAINT.
Whatever, I just need an idea. ...
Thanks!

Hi,
You will have to create a new control which inhertits from the
combobox. Here are some examples. http://www.onteorasoftware.com/ComboBox.aspx

Why don't you use another class? I'm not sure I understand the problem, but
if I do, you could create a new class and have each object hold a reference
to an object of the other class you can't touch. When adding values to the
combobox, add objects of the new class. Then you have complete control over
the ToString implementation.

I dont want to implement tons of new classes.
All classes which will be displayed in the combobox have a string variable
"name". So I want to override the combobox text method and display the
"name" via reflection.

Hi,
I have a windows form with a combobox on it (it has the DropDown as

At the moment that combobox receives focus, I need to display a small
form on the side of the dropped down combobox with a keyboard simulated
on it. Ok, I managed to get another form floating on the side, using a

I have made a custom toolbar to allow users to filter by form, etc.
The only things I want to appear on that toolbar are the 3 buttons to
control filtering. At the right end of the toolbar there is a little

buttons."
I tried the properties, etc., but can see no where to get rid of this

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
