I have a combo box which lists images to display in a medical program. I need to sort them in a custom order ( easy ) and show parts of the names in bold. As there is no hard and fast rule, I am doing this:

Thorasic @Spine@ VD

where the bit in @@ is bold. I have set up my combo box to draw the text in bold, but I can't figure out how to get the selected item textbox to also show the item in this format. Any suggestions will be met with great joy.

Does the text area need to be user editable? If not setting the ComboBox's DropDownStyle to DropDownList wouldallow the DrawItem event to paint that area.

OK, I'll try that, thanks.
