Has anyone tried to control the color changes that occur when a .net control
(in this case specifically, a combo box) is disabled? We are trying to limit
input, yet not have the control go gray on gray when disabled (or at least
be able to control the behavior). Any thoughts on this would be
appreciated....Skip

You can try setting the DrawMode property to OwnerDrawXXX and then doing
the painting yourselves in the DrawItem event.

Thanks Sijin. Am trying this now, but am having trouble getting the DrawItem
event to fire. How is this triggered? I've tried changing the DrawMode
property (which, once changed and a property changed) is supposed to fire
the event, correct?
