[RESOLVED] Changing the backround Color in a combobox list

Basically I have a program that will let the user indicate the status of a development project in several places. The status of each step in the process is color coded (i.e. Red = stopped, Yellow = on hold, Blue = in progress, green = complete, white = not started).

Ideally I would like to have a drop down menu the user can simply select the appropriate color from. Right now I'm using a bunch of combo boxes in a control array. However I can't figure out if/how to change the color of items in the list without changing the whole combo box.

Any suggestions/work arounds?

This is an example of what I'm trying to do.

Its not a simple task. You need to subclass the combobox and do the drawing yourself. There may be a thread on how to somewhere on the Forums.

What about just using a image combobox and setting the display rectangly to the full width of the combo?

Exactly what I was looking for and a whole lot easier than using comboboxes. Many thanks RobDog.
