colored text of a combobox

[ailig]

Hi!

I'm using autoit3 intensively since 6 months, and it is simply: "simple and great". especially for me as an advanced lisp coder, it is so easy to have access to all the windows functions I've always wanted.

It seems difficult to color the edit and the list of a combobox (text and background)!

I've already tried it to do it in Koda ... does not work (works with edits and inpusts ...)

I've tried to add code, inside the update of the combo:

_GUICtrlComboBox_BeginUpdate ($Combo2)

GUICtrlSetData($Combo2, $in1)

GUICtrlSetColor($Combo1, 0x800000)

GUICtrlSetBkColor($Combo1, 0xFFFBF0)

_GUICtrlComboBox_ShowDropDown($Combo2, True)

_GUICtrlComboBox_EndUpdate($Combo2)

... does not work!

So any suggestions, am I missing something?

There is no way that I know of to change the background color of a combobox. From the help file:

Only Button, Label, Checkbox, Group, Radio, Edit, Input, List, Listview, ListviewItem, Treeview, TreeviewItem, Graphic, Progress and Slider controls can currently be colored.

You can try to make your own combo box. Many have tried, but very few have been able to make the drop down menu. I don't know of any that can make the menu transition smooth.

thank you for the quick answer, I think I'll avoid the hairy experience.
