    Re: color list of ccombo box

    Yes, it is possible if make an owner-draw combobox (having CBS_OWNERDRAWFIXED or CBS_OWNERDRAWVARIABLE style set).
    That case, you can and MUST draw each list item (as your muscles want).
    See CComboBox::DrawItem.

    Re: color list of ccombo box

    Hey
    The code in the DrawItem Is not helping me .

    code:

    if ((lpDrawItemStruct->itemAction | ODA_SELECT) &&
    (lpDrawItemStruct->itemState & ODS_SELECTED))


    I want to catch the event of mouse over an item and not the mouse select on an item .

    Never mind - i find a way to do onMouseMove and highlight items in the list :


    Code:
    BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMyList, CListBox)
       ON_WM_MOUSEMOVE()
       ON_MESSAGE(WM_MOUSEHOVER, OnMouseHover)
       ON_MESSAGE(WM_MOUSELEAVE, OnMouseLeave)
    END_MESSAGE_MAP()
    
    
    
    void CMyList::OnMouseMove(UINT nFlags, CPoint point){
    	BOOL out;
    	UINT idx = ItemFromPoint(point,out);
    	if(!out)
    	{
    		SetCurSel(idx);
    	}
    	else
    	{
    		SetCurSel(-1);
    	}
        TRACKMOUSEEVENT tme;
        tme.cbSize = sizeof(tme);
        tme.hwndTrack = m_hWnd;
        tme.dwFlags = TME_LEAVE|TME_HOVER;
        tme.dwHoverTime = 1;
        TrackMouseEvent(&tme);
    }
    
    LRESULT CMyList::OnMouseLeave(WPARAM wparam, LPARAM lparam)
    {
    	SetCurSel(-1);
        return true;
    }
    
    void CMyList::DrawItem(LPDRAWITEMSTRUCT lpDrawItemStruct) 
    {
       ASSERT(lpDrawItemStruct->CtlType == ODT_LISTBOX);
       LPCTSTR lpszText = (LPCTSTR) lpDrawItemStruct->itemData;
       ASSERT(lpszText != NULL);
       CDC dc;
    
       dc.Attach(lpDrawItemStruct->hDC);
    
       // Save these value to restore them when done drawing.
       COLORREF crOldTextColor = dc.GetTextColor();
       COLORREF crOldBkColor = dc.GetBkColor();
    
       // If this item is selected, set the background color 
       // and the text color to appropriate values. Also, erase
       // rect by filling it with the background color.
    
    	 if ((lpDrawItemStruct->itemAction | ODA_SELECT) &&
    		  (lpDrawItemStruct->itemState & ODS_SELECTED))
    	  {
    		  dc.SetBkColor(::GetSysColor(COLOR_HIGHLIGHT));
    		  dc.FillSolidRect(&lpDrawItemStruct->rcItem, 
    			RGB(213,226,255));
          }
    	 else
    		 dc.FillSolidRect(&lpDrawItemStruct->rcItem, crOldBkColor);
    
       // Draw the text.
       CString slpszText  = lpszText;
       dc.DrawText(
          slpszText,
    	  slpszText.GetLength(),
          &lpDrawItemStruct->rcItem,
          DT_CENTER|DT_SINGLELINE|DT_VCENTER);
    
       // Reset the background color and the text color back to their
       // original values.
       dc.SetTextColor(crOldTextColor);
       dc.SetBkColor(crOldBkColor);
    
       dc.Detach();
    }
