Under what circumstances do you want to have different colors? I'm thinking JavaScript but I'm not quite sure what you are trying to do.

I think your best solution will be a user defined control (UC) unless you can find one out there from another source. The problem is that the MS ComboBox (CB) stores and displays it's list as string objects. You don't have the ability to alter the display of the individual list items. I tried using a CB in a UC and discovered that the CB drawing overwrites the display area below it. You can't place a TextBox on top of the expanded CB dropdown because that area is out of the UC display space. I'm sure it could be done, but would be tricky. You might have better luck with a ListBox intstead of a ComboBox. But either way you need a custom control.

If I'm wrong, hopefully, someone will correct me.

What you don't know can hurt you!

I think David may be right. You could try redering it yourself by using the graphics object, but I am not sure if that graphics of the ComboBox will extend to include the List itself.

It would also be a bit of a hack...

A UDC may be the best way to go. It wouldnt suprise me if someone has already put together something that does this..

Just had a quick play with this, and it appears that the Graphics Object
will only ever cover the ComboBox itself, not the list that is produced.
Could be wrong here, only spent 2 mins on it...
