So far everything I've found tells me I have to redraw the combo box manually QUOTE No, the .NET Framework does not include a multi-column combobox (alternate spelling to help Googlers find us!), but it does provide everything you need to create one. Here are a couple of shared-source implementations: http://www.vbaccelerator.com/home/NET/Code...Box/article.asp http://www.codeproject.com/vb/net/multicolumncombo.asp that sucks donkey balls it really does This post has been edited by Damage: 27 Aug, 2008 - 04:28 AM

Since creating a new user control is not allowed in my work environment, I can’t use this. Anyway congratulations. If you get a solution other than creating new user control don’t forget to post it.

We need to go thru a complex implementation procedure to add a new user control. Company is not ready to take any risks of implementation since it is in stable state.
