Drop-down editors - Selected items do not use the color specified in the skin

created 2 years ago (modified 2 years ago)

TcxCustomDropDownEdit uses system selection color instead of the selection color specified in the skin. That makes the application look inconsistent.

      Sure this was a good idea? At least it seems in consistent to me.
      Selection/highlight color in focused (but closed) state is still defined by the system (blue).
      My reviewers indeed laugh at the different highlight colors in one drop-down editor!
      (Our skin uses light green as selection color.)

        Hello,

        Thank you for testing v23.1.4 and sharing your feedback.
        The main idea of this change is to display selected dropdown list items in the same manner as items in other controls. However, our text editors are wrappers for standard editors, so they use the standard text highlight color.
