What's the property called Mike?  Other controls such as UltraGrid have a .ScrollBarLook, but I can't find this on the UltraComboEditor.

Mike,

thank you very very much for your help!

Your code works beautifully!

In case anyone wants the complete code, I attached the solution.

Okay, then you have to rearrange some other elements, too.

Public Sub AfterCreateChildElements(ByVal parent As Infragistics.Win.UIElement) Implements Infragistics.Win.IUIElementCreationFilter.AfterCreateChildElements

        If TypeOf parent Is ValueListDropDownUIElement Then
            For Each element As UIElement In parent.ChildElements
                If TypeOf element Is ValueListItemContainerUIElement Then
                    element.Rect = New Rectangle(element.Rect.X, element.Rect.Y, parent.Rect.Width - Me._scrollBarWidth, element.Rect.Height)
                ElseIf TypeOf element Is ScrollBarUIElement Then
                    element.Rect = New Rectangle(parent.Rect.Right - Me._scrollBarWidth, element.Rect.Y, Me._scrollBarWidth, element.Rect.Height)
                End If
            Next
        End If

        If TypeOf parent Is ScrollBarUIElement Then
            For Each element As UIElement In parent.ChildElements

                If TypeOf element Is ScrollButtonUIElement Then
                    Dim scrollButtonUIElement As ScrollButtonUIElement = DirectCast(element, ScrollButtonUIElement)
                    If scrollButtonUIElement.ScrollButtonType = ScrollButton.Up Then
                        element.Rect = New Rectangle(element.Rect.X, element.Rect.Y, element.Rect.Width, Me._buttonHeight)
                    ElseIf scrollButtonUIElement.ScrollButtonType = ScrollButton.Down Then
                        element.Rect = New Rectangle(element.Rect.X, parent.Rect.Bottom - Me._buttonHeight, element.Rect.Width, Me._buttonHeight)
                    End If
                ElseIf TypeOf element Is ScrollTrackUIElement Then
                    element.Rect = New Rectangle(element.Rect.X, parent.Rect.Top + Me._buttonHeight, element.Rect.Width, parent.Rect.Height - (Me._buttonHeight * 2))
                End If
            Next
        End If

    End Sub

here is a larger image of the combo box.

Hi Mike,

thank you for your help.

The reason Georgi's sample is so complicated is because I asked how to get up and down buttons to be taller - see his image above.

With the code you kindly provided, the up and down buttons are even shorter than normal - see the image I attached.

My users are used to poke at the up and down buttons, and it is hard to educate them as they work three shifts and mostly computer illiterate.

I would appretiate your help in this.

Thanks,

Helen.
