authoring a combobox control from scratch

Do you mean designing a custom combo box control from the ground up?, if so
forget it in VB. You will need C++ and the SDK if you mean what I think you
mean.


OHM

Where can i find an example of authoring a combobox
control FROM SCRATCH in vb.net ??

Why?
 
You don't need C++ or the SDK to create a combo box.
VB.Net is quite capable of doing do the job.
 
Explain !

What's there to explain? Do you think it's too difficult or something? A
combo box is nothing more than a simple text box with a box drawn underneath
it to display the items.
 
Hi Brian,

Is that why it is probably the control with the most bugs?

OK Then Brian,

Build me the following ComboBox control from scratch using VB.NET.

I want a completely new look and feel for the comboBox. Instead of being a
combination of a ListBox and a TextBox drawn in a rectangle. I now want my
combo box to by MultiColumn, with inBuilt Sortable ColumnHeads. In addition
to this I want the shape to be a trapezoid rather than a rectangle. Change
the Look and feel of the ComboBox so that Instead of being 3D gray dropdown
I want Mirror Effect, and also as a background. Oh Yeah, and just for luck I
also want to be able to play movies in each item.

Now do that using VB !

OHM

Explain why it should be possible with the "SDK" and not possible with
VB.NET.

Now do that using C++. What's the difference?!
 
Show me then Herfried, because I cant see how you will acheive this in
VB.NET, please post some of your code. And tell me the steps you took to do
this.

OHM

I think I struck a nerve.

I don't know how to do that but I think ti will be done similar to how
it is done in C++.
 
right, now i'm glad the question raised such intrest, however intrest
and debate doesn't get the job done - you seem to believe this this can
be done (creating a combobox from scratch) and you are also renowned for
your programming skills - PLEASE show me either an example or direction
so this could be accomplished
 
Guy,
I'm not sure exactly how you want your combo box to differ from the
standard one. Could you please be more specific about this.

Regards - OHM
