If you add a handler for the WM_DRAWITEM message (within your derived combo
box class / subclassed WndProc), that is where it should be done - in fact,
it should fail to work unless you DO handle that. The DRAWITEMSTRUCT passed
to you has an hDC member which you can temporarily attach to a CDC (MFC) or
just use direct (API), and call SetTextColor() and / or SetBkColor() on it
to control the text colour of the items you draw.
