Hi All,

I am new to windows forms C# 2005, How can i have a combo box with
image and text

meaning

* 1Star
** 2Start
*** 3Star

i have experimented something. but it shows only images.

Any help will be appreciated

Regards
-Sajin

Hi Sajin,

You need to specify DrawMode. OwnerDrawFixed is usually good enough, but use OwnerDrawVariable if the height of the items can vary.

Set DropDownStyle to DropDownList to be able to draw the selected item in the EditBox

Then subscribe to the ComboBox' DrawItem event. It will be called for each item in the list. Use the DrawItemEventArgs to find out what kind of item you are currently drawing and use DrawItemEventArgs.Bounds to position your drawing. You can then draw image and text any way you like. DrawItemEventArgs.State has information of wether the current item is highligted and so on.

If you need more specific information, please ask.

Hi Morten,

I did as u said, but still i can't show image with text :-(

I added a imageList and added the images in that and assiciated with
combobox , where am i going wrong
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WindowsApplication1
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string[] items;

items = new string[ComboBoxImageList.Images.Count];

for (int i = 0; i < ComboBoxImageList.Images.Count; i++)
{
this.comboBox1.Items.Add(ComboBoxImageList.Images[i]);

}


this.comboBox1.DropDownStyle = ComboBoxStyle.DropDownList;
this.comboBox1.DrawMode = DrawMode.OwnerDrawVariable;
this.comboBox1.ItemHeight =
this.ComboBoxImageList.ImageSize.Height;
this.comboBox1.Width =
this.ComboBoxImageList.ImageSize.Width + 80;
this.comboBox1.MaxDropDownItems =
this.ComboBoxImageList.Images.Count;
}

private void comboBox1_DrawItem(object sender,
DrawItemEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Index != -1)
{

e.Graphics.DrawImage(this.ComboBoxImageList.Images[e.Index],
e.Bounds.Left, e.Bounds.Top);
}
}
}
}

Sajin

I can't see where the text of an item is added? You are adding an
Image item to the combo box items list.
I think that Morten suggested to draw both the image and the text
(using DrawText()).

Therfore, the item added to the list should contain information about
both the image and the text to be displayed. Maybe you can use a
wrapper class to hold the item information.

Feel free to ask any question regarding the custom drawing issue.

Thanks a ton to Morten and Moty....
It works fine. :-))
