Hi,

I have simple comboBox with 3 different entries. When the user selects one of the entries, i would like to have it diplayed as a different color but for only one of the possible selections.

Assume i have those 3 items as possible selection in the combo box,

Apples
Bananas
Oranges

If the user selects Apple/oranges, i would like the combo box to behave normally, but if the user selects Banana, i would like to change the backgroung color to red for example once the selection is made..

is there an easy way?

Regards,
