    Angry The Flat Style ComboBox Question & Rant!

    I've seen this brought up before but I thought someone might have a different solution by now. (And I want to rant a little)

    [rant]
    Is there a way to give a flat style to a combobox? Obviously there isn't a property setting for this. And the question is....why? They added flat style settings to buttons, a "none" border style to Textboxes.....why not give the ComboBox the love too? Why not incorporate the functionality the Forms 2.0 ComboBox had? That control is great and very versatile. With ALL the new changes in .NET...they couldn't add this seemingly simple functionality? When you have a program that you want to have a flat style feel to it, and you see a big "3D" ComboBox there....it looks terrible. For me, the look of my applications are as important as its functionality and usability. Maybe it's just me though, but it's very frustrating sometimes.

    I don't think my crutch of using the Forms 2.0 ComboBox will help me here. Hopefully someone has something.

    Comments & suggestions welcome...

    Thanks in advance guys!
