• Windows Forms Scrolling in a custom combobox

  I have created my own custom combobox class that is derived from the basic combobox and populated with items in it's constructor. I use DrawMode.OwnerDrawVariable and override OnMeasureItem and OnDrawItem. Everything is fine except for some weirdness with the scrolling. When scrolling upwards the control looks fine and scrolling down with the keyboard or by clicking on the up/down arrows of the scroll bar is also fine. The problem is if you scroll down with the mousewheel the combobox does scroll down, but the animation makes it look like it's scrolling upwards! It is very disorienting. Has anybody else seen this behavoir and know a way t ...Show All
