Hi Oleg, Thanks for your recent help with Markup.
 
Can you also point me in the right direction to create a small block of colour before any text appears in the list when using a combo with markup. I need to show a user defined colour before some text which is also user defined. Something like the attached image .... The control I am using here is from vbaccellerator and is the OwnerDrawComboList.  I need to create these colours when the combo loads as the user can change the colours in system settings so icons etc are out. Can you help I'm rather stumped?

Regards
Boris

Try the following sub to add each item to list:

Private Sub pAddComboItem(lColor As Long, sText As String, Optional lData As Long = 0)
Dim sColor As String
Dim lRed As Long, lGreen As Long, lBlue As Long

lRed = lColor And &HFF
lGreen = (lColor And &HFF00&) \ &H100&
lBlue = (lColor And &HFF0000) \ &H10000

sColor = Right$("0" & Hex$(lRed), 2) & Right$("0" & Hex$(lGreen), 2) & Right$("0" & Hex$(lBlue), 2)

ComboBoxMarkup.AddItem "<StackPanel Orientation='Horizontal'>" & _
            "<Rectangle  Fill='#" & sColor & "' Stroke='#000000' Width='14' Height='14'/>" & _
            "<TextBlock Padding = '2' VerticalAlignment='Center'>" & sText & "</TextBlock></StackPanel>"
ComboBoxMarkup.ItemData(ComboBoxMarkup.NewIndex) = lData
  
End Sub

Hi,
 
That worked a treat!!  
 
I am having trouble with this as I have never used markup before. I have always managed to avoid using it. Could you point me to somewhere where I could get some online help in understanding mark up.?
 
Regards
