There appears to be a problem with the ComboBox in reference to background colors when the ComboBox is in CBS_DROPDOWN mode. If you try typing something that doesn't pre-exist in the list, the background partially changes to the form's color. I've made three new projects consiting of only a ComboBox with a FireFly restart between all and a Windows XP restart between one.
I've never had a need for CBS_DROPDOWN before, but if it's possible to fix this my client is really set on how he wants the UI to work.
Thanks!

Hi John, could you please explain what you mean by the sentence quoted above? A "restart" between all?
I am using Vista here today and I don't see any color change when typing text. I made a simple form with a magenta back color. I then made a combobox with CBS_DROPDOWN and back color of green. I added 50 combobox items and then ran the project. When I type intot he combobox nothing changes. I'll fire up Windows XP and see if it responds differently.
Tested under XP here and i cant reproduce anything weird.
A snippet would help a lot.
This was a constant issue one day, but I can no longer reproduce the problem. I've reran and recompiled (which I did many times that day with error) but can't reproduce it. I apologize as it appears it was my error and needed a reboot or a better pair of glasses. If it happens to come back for me, I'll post code. Thanks anyways!
:) No problem.
