Re: [WIN] change bkgnd color of combo box

Matt,

Here are some links I found which *might* relate to my question about
changing the background color of a combo box's list box; some may be
relevant only to Win 3.0 or Win 3.1, but the first one looks like it might
mean something, but I'm not sure what.  What seems to me to be the problem
is specifically changing the *background brush* ?
