Thanks for your help. I took another look at codeproject.com under C# and
found this article:
http://www.codeproject.com/cs/combobox/ComboBox_appears_flat.asp
Compiled the C# code down to a dll, and importing it into my project as a
Reference works fine also, without having to convert it to VB.Net.
Add this to the code:
Imports DrawFlat.FlatComboBox
'then in the vb code change
Me.ComboBox1 = New System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox
'to this:
Me.ComboBox1 = New DrawFlat.FlatComboBox
'works like a charm
EXCEPT that on a 1900x1200 resolution Sony Viao screen, there is a wide 3D
border between the textbox and the arrow on the combobox control. Must be a
wide screen issue, since no one else came up with it.
