ComboBox borderstyle

[Gian]

Hello, i've seen that the most common Windows Forms controls have the property BorderStyle. I've designed some forms with all the controls with FixedSingle like border. But the ComboBox have not, yet, that property. Is there a simple way to change the border? the combo seems too much different to the other components in the program, i'd like to uniform the style. Thanks

In order to make a ComboBox "flat", you will need to write your own ComboBox class. Here is an article that will help you. http://www.vbaccelerator.com/home/NET/Code/Controls/ListBox_and_ComboBox/Flat_Style_Combo_Boxes/article.asp[^]

There's several other articles about this on this site as well in C# (though the syntax would be the only thing different between VB.NET and C# code). Just some other alternatives that shouldn't be hard to find if you search CodeProject (say "flat combo" or something like that).
