    Re: Combobox drawing autocomplete section

    I dont think you can "OwnerDraw" the autocomplete section so the only way I can think of doing it is by turning the autocomplete function off and then basicallly writing your own. So you would handle the TextChanged event or whatever its called and then just basically draw a rectangle containing lists of the autocomplete options... I think it would be more work than its worth personally though


    On the other hand you could use WPF and it would take about 30 seconds :P

    (I know I know, I plug WPF too much )

    Re: Combobox drawing autocomplete section

    Um, no sure I want to build it from scratch. Think those pesky users will just have to live without having pretty colours.
    Will have a look into wpf when I get some time though, as we want to revamp our fromt end at some point and make it all super petty so am guessing this will be the way to go.
    Anyway thanks for your help.
