Solved: Changing font color in dropbox

[talhamoin]

I have a drop box with option of colors:


cboColorList.AddItem "Aqua"
cboColorList.AddItem "Blue"
cboColorList.AddItem "Bright Green"
cboColorList.AddItem "Dark Green"
cboColorList.AddItem "Indigo"
cboColorList.AddItem "Lavender"
cboColorList.AddItem "Orange"
cboColorList.AddItem "Red"



I want that every option should be in the color it describes. i.e. Aqua should appear in aqua color. Blue in blue color and so on.

Is it possible?

Not as far as I know

What you could do is link the item selection in the drop box to a label.

In the Label you can then set the BG color to the dropdox selection, just as a example


So selecting cboColorList.AddItem "Orange" would change the Label's BG to Orange, and you could set the Label Caption to "Orange'

Can't we add an image to combo box? This way I can add a small image with each color option and the image will show color.

I don't think you can add a picture to each line of the List

No way I know anyway
