Code to Disable combobox highlighting on select - ρãήžε® - Jan 2, 2015

Im desigining my form and i am using the normal combo box not the drop down list because it doesnt look good. Ive already disabled typing for it but when u click a item it highlights it automatically.what code can i use to disable it from highlighting when a item is selected within the combobox?

Enable it, don't disable it. If it's disabled how are your users going to use it.
Do this, it will fix it.

Changed the drop down style to list.

there is no easy way of doing it. you could write your own control or use some hackey sendmessage call.

i did that but it still is highlighting. The idea is to get rid of the blue highlight after a user has clicked a item
