Hilmar,

The customer wants to change the back color of required fields. I usually try and follow that recomendation. But you know, the customer is always right :).

>>I am trying to change the back color of a combobox. If I set the style to a combo list the area around the text is grey if I change the backcolor to anything but white. Is there a way to do this?

>The usual recommendation goes something like this: if there isn't a built-in way to change the colors, then the whole idea is to use the user preferences (standard Windows colors) - as defined in the Control Panel. I am not sure whether it applies here, but it is worth taking this counsel into account.
