[dba-VB] No flat ComboBox in .Net??

Hi Charlotte

OK, thanks. Looks like I have to accept the facts.

If no other ideas for Visual Studio 2011, this is one.

We use 3rd party controls where one of the properties of a combobox is
"UseFlatMode".  Since these are usercontrols built on the winforms base,
there has to be a way to do it, but I've never felt compelled to
reinvent that wheel.  If we want to get fancy with a cell in a grid, we
assign a combobox as the control editor for that column and then set the
properties of the combobox which passes them on to the cell.

Hi all

No suggestions?

I've experimented with a DataGridView of one cell as a combobox, no
headers, no scrollbars.
Looks OK but what a deroute ... I can't believe this.

Hi All

Where is the BorderStyle property of the ComboBox?
It can't be true that you need custom controls if you wish a flat XP
style ComboBox?
