I have an ownerdrawn combo box which I am drawing with an image and some text, this is all working beautifully apart from the difference in the Brush I have to draw the background and the text with if the item is the currently selected one.
I have selected a blue (SystemColors.H ighlight) background brush and white (SystemColors.H ighlightText) text brush if the item is the highlighted one, but when I do that instead of functioning like a normal combobox (when dropped down) where the items get selected as you mouse over them, as you mouse over each one, the previously selected (i.e. drawn blue) one *stays selected* until you scroll.
Obviously I don't want this behaviour. I've checked I haven't got some multiselect property on or anything. I've written a function which I call to draw the item unselected which in the OnDrawItem I always call to unselect the previous item which is a bit of a kludge, but is there a more normal way? I tried faffing around with the Invalidate method but to no avail.
Oh and another thing is there anyway to get the combo box in its default mode (i.e. with the text box enabled) to show the picture in the text box, as it does on drop down list mode (but I want the text box to stay enabled)... probably not, but just in case! I've got the combo box set to drop down (the standard, i.e. not 'drop down list' or 'simple')

Beeves,
Can you paste your ComboBox class code with paint events? It will help me to
investigate further.

hi
I am creating an ownerdrawn combo box. I will need to display
icons/images in the edit portion of the combobox. I retreived the
handles of Edit and List portions with ComboBoxInfo structure. Then I
created a class inherited from NativeWindow. This class is assigned the
handle of EditBox of combo so that I can handle the WM_PAINT event only
for the Edit portion. So far everything good. But the problem I am
facing is that The EditBox...

Have a look at the code below. It's a really simple example where I
have added two controls to a form, a textbox and a combo box. Both add
owner drawn context menus to the controls, but the combobox will NOT
draw custom drawn context menu item. I have tried EVERYTHING (deriving
from MenuItem and even tried calling TrackPopupMenuEx directly), but
it just won't work!
I am currently reflecting over the combobox source code (oh joy!), but...

Hi,
I'm having some trouble drawing items in controls that I've marked as
ownerdrawn.
I'm currently developing an application that has ownerdrawn statusbar
panels, and a listbox that contains ownerdrawn items.
Both controls behave irratically:
The statusbar panels draw fine (the point is to draw an image in them),

Hi there!
I have successfully create my own ownerdrawn menus.
However, I decided to add some code for the menus to detect if their parent
is a MainMenu object and, if it is, as it is the menuitem beeing displayed
in the form's menu bar, it draws it differently.
So far so good.
But there are two thing I can't get around.
1 - How can I draw a custom menu when the mouse is over the menu item but
the user hasn't clicked it, just like in...

Hi
The first set of source code is the class for a combobox in a grid,
hopefully. In the second set of code we try to use the combobox class, but
the grid is empty.
I don't understand how this works. The first set of code I downloaded from
internet and when i tried it, it worked fine. But when I changed the second
part of the code it started to give me trouble. Before I changed the code
they used Datacolumns,Datarows and Datatables and...

Hello folks,
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.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
