HI all,

I need to customize CComboBox's drop button, and change color of control's boundary (not the drop list).

How can I do that?

You will have to walk the owner-drawn path...

Take a look at the articles that you can find here in CP[^] about owner drawn Combo-boxes, they will help you.

Hope this helps.

Thank you very much Juan. And yes, I have been thinking of using owner-drawn. But as i understand, and i may be wrong that owner-draw, by overlapped function DrawItems(), MeasureItem().., is used for drawing items in drop list. please correct me here.

Owner-drawn will allow you to draw the entire control... But if I must tell you the truth I've always run like hell in order to avoid that... ^^¡
