You could try removing any border styles from the window styles associated with the control. If a control's painting implementation ignores the style then you have no choice but to draw the control yourself. MArk

Hi Mark, Thanks for your response. It seemes I need to draw the combobox my self. But don't you think SetWindowRegion should set the painting area of a control? Humayoun

Not necessarily.  The control draws itself just like any other window. Whether the control sets its own region or not, or honors any of the styles you create it with, depends on the implementation. Mark

Do you want to customize combobox or remove border of it?

I didn't know this before, thanx. By the way, removing WS_BORDER didn't work.

So you can use of property window of combobox or use of ModifyStyle(....) for remove each style that you dont want it.
