Hi CP, May i know anyone get the things ? Regards ,

The sample class below does not contain all the code, however it will give you an idea of the problem. Just drop this class into your a project, compile, and drop it the ComboDraw control onto a form. using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Drawing; using System.Text; using System.Windows.Forms; namespace ComboTest { class ComboDraw : ComboBox { public ComboDraw() { DrawMode = DrawMode.OwnerDrawFixed; DropDownStyle = ComboBoxStyle.DropDown; FlatStyle = FlatStyle.Flat; SetStyle(ControlStyles.UserPaint, true); } protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e) { base.OnPaint(e); e.Graphics.FillRectangle(new SolidBrush(Color.Green), ClientRectangle); } } } --Ian;

I have no idea how to get past this one. If it wasn't such a PITA composite control, it'd be real easy! Dave Kreskowiak Microsoft MVP - Visual Basic

I have a solution to my post, and here it is. public class TimePicker : ComboBox { bool m_fIsDropDown = false; string m_strTime = string.Empty; int m_nSelectedIndex = -1; public TimePicker() : base() { } private void LoadTimes() { if (this.Items.Count < 1) { DateTime t = new DateTime(2005, 10, 11, 0, 0, 0, 0); while (t < new DateTime(2005, 10, 12)) { this.Items.Add(t.ToShortTimeString()); t = t.AddMinutes(30); } } } protected override void OnCreateControl() { base.OnCreateControl(); LoadTimes(); } protected override void OnDropDown(EventArgs e) { base.OnDropDown(e); m_strTime = this.Text; DateTime dtmValue = DateTime.Now; try { dtmValue = Convert.ToDateTime(m_strTime); } catch { return; } for (int i = 0; i < this.Items.Count; i++) { DateTime dtmItem = Convert.ToDateTime(this.Items[i].ToString()); if (dtmValue >= dtmItem && dtmValue < dtmItem.AddMinutes(30)) { this.SelectedIndex = i; m_nSelectedIndex = i; break; } } m_fIsDropDown = true; } protected override void OnMouseDown(MouseEventArgs e) { if (m_fIsDropDown == true) { this.SelectedIndex = m_nSelectedIndex; this.Text = m_strTime; } else { base.OnMouseDown(e); } } protected override void OnMouseUp(MouseEventArgs e) { if (m_fIsDropDown == true) { this.SelectedIndex = m_nSelectedIndex; this.Text = m_strTime; m_fIsDropDown = false; } else { base.OnMouseUp(e); } } } --IAN
