Without your code? We are guessing...
But teh error is pretty explicit: you are trying to refer to a file directly using a relative path:
..\folder\file.jpg But the current folder is already at the root of the drive (or root of the website for a web app)
Try using an absolute path, or check your current folder is where you think it is!

I have a standard ComboBox. Under certain conditions, I would like the background color of the actual ComboBox rectangle (not the drop down list portion) to change. I have found a lot of example on the Internet explaining how to change the color of the items in the drop down list, but this is not what I want. Any ideas?

Is this Windows Forms, WPF, ASP.NET, or something else?

You'll need to set the DrawMode property[^] to OwnerDrawFixed or OwnerDrawVariable , depending on whether or not your items have a fixed height.
For OwnerDrawVariable , you'll need to handle the MeasureItem event[^] to specify the size for each item.
You'll then need to handle the DrawItem event[^] to draw each item in the ComboBox . You should be able to identify whether the item is the edit portion of the ComboBox by checking for the DrawItemState.ComboBoxEdit flag in the State property[^] of the DrawItemEventArgs [^].

The ComboBox contains plain text so I set DrawMode to OwnerDrawFixed. As far as I understand, the following should work, but it doesn't:
private void comboBox_DrawItem(Object sender, DrawItemEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Index < 0)
{
return;
}
if (e.State == DrawItemState.ComboBoxEdit)
{
e.Graphics.FillRectangle(new SolidBrush(Color.Violet), e.Bounds);
}
else
{
e.Graphics.FillRectangle(new SolidBrush(((ComboBox)sender).BackColor), e.Bounds);
}
e.Graphics.DrawString(((ComboBox)sender).Items[e.Index].ToString(), e.Font,
new SolidBrush(((ComboBox)sender).ForeColor),
new Point(e.Bounds.X, e.Bounds.Y));
e.DrawFocusRectangle();
}
What am I missing?

It only seem to work if the DropDownStyle is set to DropDownList ; I don't think you can owner-draw the edit box of an editable ComboBox .
The State property can combine multiple values, so you can't do a straight equality test. You'll need to use the HasFlag method[^] instead.
Your code also won't draw anything until you select an item from the list. If you want to see the custom background colour even when you haven't selected an item, you'll need to remove the initial e.Index test, and add a conditional test around the DrawString line:
private void comboBox1_DrawItem(object sender, DrawItemEventArgs e)
{
var control = (ComboBox)sender;
if (e.State.HasFlag(DrawItemState.ComboBoxEdit))
{
e.Graphics.FillRectangle(Brushes.Violet, e.Bounds);
}
else
{
e.DrawBackground();
}
if (e.Index >= 0)
{
e.Graphics.DrawString(control.Items[e.Index].ToString(), e.Font,
new SolidBrush(e.ForeColor), e.Bounds.X, e.Bounds.Y);
}
e.DrawFocusRectangle();
}

e.State.HasFlag gave a compile error so I changed it to:
if (0 < (((int)e.State) & ((int)DrawItemState.ComboBoxEdit)))
There is one strange issue left, though. When I select an item in the ComboBox, the color of the text becomes white. When the ComboBox looses focus, the text becomes black again.

HasFlag was added in .NET 4.0, so I guess you must be using 3.5 or earlier.
The ForeColor property will change depending on whether or not the item is highlighted. If you always want the text to be black, then use Brushes.Black instead.
private void comboBox1_DrawItem(object sender, DrawItemEventArgs e)
{
var control = (ComboBox)sender;
if (0 != (e.State & DrawItemState.ComboBoxEdit))
{
e.Graphics.FillRectangle(Brushes.Violet, e.Bounds);
if (e.Index >= 0)
{
e.Graphics.DrawString(control.Items[e.Index].ToString(), e.Font,
Brushes.Black, e.Bounds.X, e.Bounds.Y);
}
}
else
{
e.DrawBackground();
if (e.Index >= 0)
{
e.Graphics.DrawString(control.Items[e.Index].ToString(), e.Font,
new SolidBrush(e.ForeColor), e.Bounds.X, e.Bounds.Y);
}
}
e.DrawFocusRectangle();
}

Many thanks, it works perfectly now!

I have a standard ComboBox. As soon as the user "touches" (with the mouse or the keyboard) the ComboBox, I would like to enforce that SelectedValue is never again -1. The normal case is that if the user doesn't select an item, SelectedValue becomes -1. However, if the user doesn't make a selection, I would like the first item to be selected. How can I accomplish this?
|

The easiest way is to change the DropDownStyle to DropDownList - then once a value is selected it can never be deselected.
If you combine that with handling the DropDown event and setting the SelectedIndex to zero in that, it should do what you want.

DropDownStyle is already set to DropDownList. If the user doesn't select any of the items (he/she clicks outside the ComboBox after he/she has "touched" ComboBox) then I don't get ComboBox_SelectedIndexChanged or ComboBox_SelectionChangeCommitted events. It seems those events are only fired when a selection is made inside the ComboBox.

That's why I said "If you combine that with handling the DropDown event..."

Ok, I understand:
private void comboBox_DropDown(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (((ComboBox)sender).SelectedIndex < 0)
{
((ComboBox)sender).SelectedIndex = 0;
}
}
Very good idea, that works great! Thanks!

That's the event!

I have been trying to start multiple instances of iexplore and other
apps then get the handle so i can reposition it and other actions.
It works great in Windows 7 using myProcess.Id to find the process and retrieve the MainWindowHandle. It also works in Windows 8.1 if there is
only 1 instance of the application running.
The Problem: When i get more than one instance of the app open in W8.1 I can not find the handle. I can get the process id but can't get the handle even by looping through all processes and looking for the handle.
Help

This is a bit long but shows most of what i've tried
string ProcToStart = "iexplore";
int saveProcId;
Process myProcess = new Process();
myProcess.StartInfo.FileName = TargetFile;
myProcess.StartInfo.Arguments = TargetArguments;
myProcess.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
myProcess.Start();
saveProcId = myProcess.Id;
1-the simple approach, just trying to access myProcess.MainWindowHandle gets 0 even after a 10 min sleep
2--here is one method looping through all processes
I also tried this wraped in: while (proc.MainWindowHandle == IntPtr.Zero) (ran forever & didnt find a hit)....
foreach (Process proc in Process.GetProcesses())
{
if (proc.Id == saveProcId)
{
Console.WriteLine(" PID: " + proc.Id + " Handle: " + proc.MainWindowHandle);
}
}
3--Here is another attempt using ....GetProcessById
try
{
ChosenProc = Process.GetProcessById(ProcId);
Console.WriteLine("Your Process Info: " );
Console.WriteLine(" Id: " + ChosenProc.Id
+ " Handle: " + ChosenProc.Handle
+ " MainWinHndl: " + ChosenProc.MainWindowHandle
+ " Name: " + ChosenProc.ProcessName);
return true;
}
catch
{
ChosenProc = null;
Console.WriteLine("Incorrect entry.");
return false;
}
