I've created a manifest and used flatstyle.system to get XP look and feel, but does anyone know how to get the XP downarrow onto the button (look and feel of the combobox button) or secondly a bit map (flatstyle.system ignores bitmaps) Thanks Steve

I would like to display a set of dates in long format but want to keep all days months and years underneath each other with in a set of text boxes eg 01 January 2003 12 May 2005 14 December 2002 This is similar to how the datepicker works. If I use a space character the years do not line up as all space becomes compressed. Any Ideas on the character I need to pad out the text with?? Thanks Steve Graham

Any ideas how I can display a listbox outside the confinds of a form without placing it on it's own form? Thanks Steve Graham

Newbie Simple question, I can change a textbox ForeColor, BackColor so that say the text is Blue, But how do I do the same to the datetimepicker? Although the properties are hidden, they can be changed but they make no difference to the form. Thanks Steve Graham

I've just started playing with c# and created a simple control which inherits the textbox control. I can hide all properties relating to multilines as the control will never do this, by overriding the property and setting [Browsable(false)]. My question is, is there a way to also stop intellisense picking up these hidden properties, eg usrTextBox.AcceptsTab cannot be seen on the properties page but can be pickup up within the body of the code using usrTextBox.????? Thanks Steve Graham
