changing BackGround Color of ComboBox

Question

Using C# is it possible to change the BackGround color of a comboBox? I tried to use this one cmbBox1 = the namespace of the combobox cmbBox1.BackgroundColor = Color.Red; I't wont work. Is there any way to put some new codes so I could change its backcolor? (Without editing stuff from the properties window) Also from the comboBox i have this two item: red and blue. when i clicked the button 'Change Color' (btnColor) the button should change it's background color. is it possible to use if or switch statement? how?

I really got it right before you sent you reply. But anyway thanks. I got another big problem. I have this listbox (lstBoxColor) wherein if you click the btnChangeColor the listBox will display what color you have chosen. e.g. 1st click - => 0 - Blue (if i choose blue) 2nd click - => 1 - Red (if i choose red) 3rd click - => 2 - Red (if i choose red again) and so on... got any ideas?

I missed the other part of the question: private void comboBox2_SelectedIndexChanged( object sender EventArgs e) { switch (comboBox2.Text) { case Red : comboBox2.BackColor = Color .Red; break ; case Blue : comboBox2.BackColor = Color .Blue; break ; default : break ; } }

There is no BackGround property you need to use the BackColor property; e.g. comboBox1.BackColor = Color .Azure;
