I am having a custom textBoxControl derived from Windows TextBox Control
I want to change the selection highlight default color, which is blue to say Green
But am nowhere getting any solution as to how can i change that highlight color from default Blue to Green
Offcourse one solution is to change the system brush but it will then affect all the other applications running on my maching which should not happen..

Does anybody had any idea how is it possible?

I feel sorry, but I don't know if that is possible. There may be a way
using p/invoke, but I don't have an idea.
 
Hi Nilesh,

I'm afraid it is not possible. That seting is global for the system.

TextBox is a thin wrapper around the old text control from Win32. You're
stuck with it's capabilities.
