That other answer is custom-drawing the ComboBox. So what makes you think a simple `SendMessage()` will let you change the coloring? – Remy Lebeau May 26 '21 at 17:51

I could change the text, background and selection color, I'm asking if its also possible the border color. – May 26 '21 at 19:31

There is no system-defined message for changing a ComboBox's border coloring. – Remy Lebeau May 26 '21 at 19:32

Do you know if theres any message to change the x/y position of the dropdown? – May 26 '21 at 19:32

There is no message for that. But you can use `GetComboBoxInfo()` to get the `HWND` of the drop-down list, and then you can move it around with `SetWindowPos()` as desired. – Remy Lebeau May 26 '21 at 19:36

I tried it but for a short period of time the drop-down is shown before it got moved, what else do you suggest? – May 27 '21 at 01:10

what are you trying to accomplish in the first place? And what does this have to do with colors? You should post a new question – Remy Lebeau May 27 '21 at 01:16
