Highlight color

[tired]

I want to make my combobox highlight color green instead of the system defined color. Thanks.

AFAIK you need to change the system color then. You can do that in your VB program by calling SetSysColors API.

I'm just a beginner. Don't know where to call for syscolors to load and how to select color (rgb values?)And don't know how to return syscolors to orginal on exit if needed. I'm just a newbie

search MSDN for an article with the following title:
"HOWTO: Use Custom System Colors Only When Your App Has Focus"
it has all the details and source code.
