Create Color ComboBox?

Sep 4, 2008

I'm trying to turn this into a UserControl for a project and my end goal is to have a combobox that lists all of the colors in the color enum and it also shows a little box next to each item in the drop down that shows the color of each color's name. Just like the one in VS 2005 when you click Tools -> Options -> Fonts & Colors, there's an "Item Foreground" and "Item Background" that does this.I already have the drawing of the colors and whatnot done, here's the

Dim CurrColor As Color
For Each aColorName As String In System.Enum.GetNames(GetType(System.Drawing.KnownColor))
CurrColor = Color.FromName(aColorName)

[code].....

Specific Color For ComboBox In Toolbar

Jun 14, 2010

I have a combobox in a toolbar on my form. I want each item to have a specific forecolor. The forecolor property for the combobox only sets the forecolor for all items in the combobox. I though of overriding the drawitem event but sharpdevelop doesn't show a draw item event for a combobox embedded in a toolbar, only when i add a combobox to the form.

ComboBox DropDown-Area Border Color?

Dec 6, 2010

I've created an ownerdraw ComboBox (used as DropDownList only) in Visual Basic .NET 2010. I inherited ComboBox and set DrawMode to OwnerDrawVariable. The control itself and the dropdown items are drawn with Paint and DrawItem.

The control works fine so far, but there is one thing i was unable to change: When i click on the combobox to open the dropdown area, this new area has a very bright border color (nearly white) which I want to change to black. I've uploaded an image of the current control and how I want it to look like:

How To Change Background Color For Individual ComboBox Items

Jun 2, 2010

I have a combo box which will store a list of RGB values generated when the user makes a custom color in the color dialog. The values are stored in the combo box in RRR, GGG, BBB format. I have this working. The code for this is as follows:

dlgChooser.ShowDialog()
Dim colorR As String = dlgChooser.Color.R.ToString()
Dim colorG As String = dlgChooser.Color.G.ToString()
Dim colorB As String = dlgChooser.Color.B.ToString()
lblTitle.ForeColor = dlgChooser.Color()
cmbRecent.Items.Insert(0, colorR & ", " & colorG & ", " & colorB)
cmbRecent.SelectedIndex = 0

The next part is to change each recent color's background color to match whatever color the values represent (so that it's easier to pick from the colors). How do I assign a background color to each item listed in the combo box?

Custom Control And Datagridview ComboBox Cell Back Color

Jun 5, 2009

I have added a custom Control to my project, but every time I edit it and rebuild the form that I use the custom control in adds the project name in front of the control and won't compile. i.e. Project name = MyProject, Custom Control name = MyControl. When I rebuild the project after editing my control I get an error, MyProject.MyControl doesn't exist. If I remove the MyProject from the line it compiles and runs fine until next time I edit the custom control.

I can't figure out what I would be doing wrong to cause this, or why it is putting the project name in front of the control, but then not accepting it. I am also struggling figuring out how to change the back color on an individual cell in an Datagridview Combo Box. The style.backcolor property of the cell doesn't seem to do anything.

VS 2008 - Change Individual Item Color In DataBound ComboBox

May 8, 2009

I have a combobox called cbMaterialType on a windows form that's bound to a table in SQL - everything loads great and the combobox displays 'Material' items as it should, in that table I have two fields - Material (as mentioned above) which is a char(25) and InStock which is an nchar(1). If the InStock field contains a '1', I'd like the individual material to be green in the combobox, if '0', then red. I have the simple code in the drawitem event of the combobox as follows, but can't seem to get any results at all:

Private Sub cbMaterialType_DrawItem(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DrawItemEventArgs) Handles cbMaterialType.DrawItem
If MaterialTableAdapter1.GetData.Item(cbMaterialType.SelectedIndex).InStock = 1 Then
cbMaterialType.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green
Else
cbMaterialType.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red
End If
End Sub

I've never worked with any form of color in comboboxes before and this is my first attempt at the drawitem event.

How To Create An On-screen Shape (circle) That Has A Fill Color, Which Will Blink Every X Seconds

Jun 8, 2011

I need to create an on-screen shape (circle) that has a fill color, which will blink every X seconds (go from fill color, to white, back to fill color). This is trivial to do...BUT... i want to do it in my own class, so that I can instantiate it numerous times passing it unique coordinates for each instantiation.

How do I do it? Can a class have its own "timer control" in it independent from the form? How would I draw a shape from a class?

Create A ComboBox In An Inputbox?

Jun 13, 2011

I have a problem with inserting a multiple selection option into my Inputbox.

IDEA: First the user chooses an excel file which he wants to open and then the sheet he wants to be read.

I can manage everything else except making the sheet selection a multiple option one.

At the moment the name of the wanted Excel sheet is typed into the text field in the inputbox. But I want the textfield to be a dropdownlist which would be populated with this:

With ComboBox1
For i As Integer = 1 To XL_WB.Worksheets.Count
Dim nimet As Excel.Worksheet = XL_WB.Worksheets(i)

Create A ComboBox With A DataGrid Dropdown In WPF?

Jan 5, 2012

I'm trying to rig up a ComboBox with a Datagrid dropdown in WPF. I need the the code to be done programmatically and contained in the codebehind. Here's what I've got so far:

[Code]....

This code produces a ComboBox that contains a DataGrid with two columns and seems to look fine. Although when you click on the ComboBox and select one of the rows in the DataGrid the selection in the ComboBox doesn't work properly. (It just shows the colum headers.) I want the value in the first column of the selected row to appear as the ComboBox selection.
