Can anyone tell me how to get the current color of a combobox's button?
I have a custom control that I want to look similar to a combobox. It
contains a button control that I want to look like the button on a
combobox.
If possible, I would also like to get the arrow image that is used on
the combobox.
When different styles are used, the colors and image changes.
Thanks for the help in advance!

'SystemColors.C ontrol' will give you the color,
'ControlPaint.D rawComboButton' can be used to draw the button.

I don't quite understand how to use the ControlPaint.Dr awComboButton
and there are very few examples. Do you have an example of how to use
this?
Thanks.

Hello Sir,
This is Chandra and Working as Software Engineer. I got a really weird
problem with ComboBoxes.
I have set the ComboBox DroppedDown Property to true.
Now the actual problem is When the ComboBox DroppedDown is Shown I have to
actually click twice to get out of the form or need to click twice to do
anything.

I may have already asked this one, but,
Is there anyway of hiding the dropdown control button on a combobox until
the field has focus?
Because the values in the combobox can be between 5 charicters long and
thirty charicters long, this poses the problem that when a five charicter
string is selected, the button looks a mile away. I have the background of
the combobox set to transparent, but the button still appears

Using .Net CF, i have created a 2 dimension ArrayList, and "binded" this list

However, when i try to "set" the SelectedValue or SelectedIndex properties,
nothing happens.... The default blank value in the ComboBox is always

I've looked high and low for some code that will allow me to have a combobox
with a flat borderstyle. I found a few examples, but nothing that was
really usable for me. I had the following criteria that I wanted to meet,
but nothing did:
- No reliance on a separate library
- No unmanaged code
- Easy subclassing of System.Windows.Forms.Combobox (i.e. no custom control
monstrosity)
- No extra funky features that I didn't need

ComboBox databindng Problem
== How the ComboBox is setup and used:
My comboBox is populated by a lookup table. The ValueMember is the
lookup table's Id and the DisplayMember is the text from a
corresponding field in the lookup table. In my data table we store the
ID in what I will call the 'key' field.

I've been reading all the help I can on the topic (MSDN, other) but I
can't make sense of this.
Desired behavior;
The user is to choose from the displayed list of the databound combobox
and the coresponding 'Id' from the lookup table is to be inserted into
the field of the new record.
I have two simple tables. "tblPerson" is the data table. The lookup

Ciao a tutti,
leggendo qua e là per il forum ho scoperto che non sono l'unico ad
avere questo problema.
Se si inserisce un controllo ComboBox in un form di C#, non è
possibile impostare la sua altezza ad un valore diverso da 21. Forse,
cambiando la dimensione del font, si potrebbe riuscire a cambiare anche
l'impostazione dell'altezza... (MS farebbe comunque meglio ad
introdurre per il ComboBox una proprietà AutoSize impostabile a
"false"...
