I still don't get why you use a combo where a dropdownlist is what you need. If you want to limit input to list, what is the point of having an edit field with free content you validate afterwards? Just have your user choose from the list by dropping it down.
I must be missing something obvious.
If you need a particular style for the list, there is quite a variety of them. If you use the IDE, then it provides an FList component developed by A. Drummond which is even more flexible than a plain list.
If what you need is a dropdown list with images, then I would go owner drawn. You can implement owner drawn controls using win32lib as it is, but need to deal with raw Windows messages. There are long term plans for that.
Otherwise, I need your explaining what you want to achieve.
