ComboBox

Hi,

Why does all the other controls have FlatStyle of Flat and the ComboBox
does not? If I configure a form to have all Flat, the ComboBox stands out
like a pink cow in a dairy. Why the inconsistency? Somebody forget something
or was it BY DESIGN to have inconsistencies?

That's by design. You can create your own "ownerdrawn" combobox:

By design? I think not, the forgot or didn't want to to do it. VS 2004
will have a flat combo.
