Comments on: Removing the vertical separator from the ComboBox control in Flex http://blog.flexexamples.com/2009/03/23/removing-the-vertical-separator-from-the-combobox-control-in-flex/ Just a bunch of Adobe Flex Examples Mon, 13 Feb 2012 01:38:13 +0000 hourly 1 By: Richard of Norway http://blog.flexexamples.com/2009/03/23/removing-the-vertical-separator-from-the-combobox-control-in-flex/comment-page-1/#comment-6831 Richard of Norway Fri, 22 Jan 2010 12:28:16 +0000 http://blog.flexexamples.com/2009/03/23/removing-the-vertical-separator-from-the-combobox-control-in-flex/#comment-6831 I found out how to make the changes I wanted after all. I knew there should be a VERY SIMPLE way to do it, but scouring the net did not give me the answers until I stumbled across it in your code. Thanks! The answer, in my case (change only border color and background-gradient) was to assign a themeColor to the components, which I did in the CSS, like this: global { theme-color: #7ab800; } I found out how to make the changes I wanted after all.

What if I only want to change the background gradient or border color? But want to leave the seperator? (Which part of this code removes the seperator?) Thanks! :) This is excellent!

Don't hold me to that, though.

I spent a little bit working on a similar problem: how to remove the gradient border from the border of a combobox. In this process I found that this is a copy of the ComboBoxArrowSkin with a couple minor changes. What I ended up doing was just copy/pasting the ComboBoxArrowSkin class in flex_trunk/frameworks/projects/framework/src/mx/skins/halo and modifying it so that it didn't apply a gradient to the border. But I wouldn't have thought of doing that if it wasn't for this example. Cheers! Thanks for this example.
