Default Different colors for combo items

Hi,

I am trying to use different colour in a ComboBox to
highlight different items. In the old days one used to be
able to insert a control character in from of text to
change color/underline/etc. It now is controlled by
the .FONT property that applies to all items in the list.

Any ideas ?

Thx

Malcolm,

I don't believe it is possible to change font attributes of individual items
in a combobox or a listbox.
