Hi if you can please help me.
I created combobox as color picker it works well in dropdown list but when I select something then only a string is shown (not the colors). I tried to use images but the problem was the same.

Items are normal strings with color names

public void FillDraw()
{
comboBox1.Items.Add("Blue");
comboBox1.Items.Add("Green");
comboBox1.Items.Add("Orange");
}

and I’m using DrawItem event like this:

protected void comboBox1_DrawItem(object sender, Elegant.Ui.DrawComboBoxItemEventArgs e)
{
Graphics g = e.Graphics;
Rectangle rect = e.Bounds;

if (e.ItemIndex < 0)
return;

string col = ((Elegant.Ui.ComboBox)sender).Items[e.ItemIndex].ToString();
Font f = new Font("Arial", 9.75f, FontStyle.Regular);

if (e.IsSelected)
e.PaintSelectedBackground();

if (e.ItemIndex >= 0)
{
Color c = Color.FromName(col);
Brush b = new SolidBrush(c);
Pen p = new Pen(Color.Black);
g.DrawString(col, f, Brushes.Black, rect.X, rect.Top);
g.FillRectangle(b, rect.X + 50, rect.Y + 2, rect.Width - 20, rect.Height - 4);
g.DrawRectangle(p, rect.X + 50, rect.Y + 2, rect.Width - 20, rect.Height - 4);
}
}

I changed ComboBox properties DrawMode to OwnerDrawFixed and Editable to False.

Thank you for reply.

Image version now working correctly (I forget to set SelectedImageSize) but if someone know how to draw items directly it will be better for my solution.
