Hai Arpaket,
Now I am clear ie what u need
First set the properties for the combo box
DropDownStyle = DropDownList
Add the item dynamically as previous but don't change font in that loop
instead of that you can write the procedure in n
SelectionChangeCommitted event
(See in event properties)
Private Sub CurComboBox_SelectionChangeCommitted(ByVal sender AsSystem.Object,
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CurComboBox.SelectionChangeCommitted
If CurComboBox.Text.Contains("a") Then
CurComboBox.Font = New Font("Arial", 8, FontStyle.Italic)
CurComboBox.BackColor = Color.Wheat
Else
CurComboBox.Font = New Font("Arial", 8, FontStyle.Regular)
CurComboBox.BackColor = Color.White
End If
End Sub
This event occurs when user select the item from combo box
When the even t fire check the current text contains "a" if it true then
change the font style and color so this will highlighted as your desire
I think this is satisfy you
I am wait for your reply
