You can change the value of the UseThemedCompletionBoxSelection2 registry entry from 1 to 0 to disable the use of the windows theme for the listbox selection.
For VS2005, the value is at:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Whole Tomato\\Visual Assist X\\VANet8
For VS2008:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Whole Tomato\\Visual Assist X\\VANet9
Make sure to exit all instances of Visual Studion before changing the value.

| We don't provide a way to specify the highlight background color. VA uses the Windows system highlight color when UseThemedCompletionBoxSelection2 is 0. Are you finding that VA is not using the the highlight color or do you want the highlight color to be different in VA than in Windows? |

After changing UseThemedCompletionBoxSelection2 from 1 to 0,the highlight color has turned to light grey,which is the Windows system highlight color.Honestly,this color is not beautiful and is hard to distinguish it from white which is the background color of listbox.I want a bright color like blue(in the first picture I have inserted),or can we change the Windows system highlight color? |

| Yes, you can change the Windows system highlight color (actually listed as Selected Items in the control panel); VA will use that color when UseThemedCompletionBoxSelection2 is disabled. |

| Which OS, IDE and version of VA are you using? I can then try this on the same OS and IDE, and see what results I get. |

The colour change is working correctly for me under Windows 7. First a simple sanity check, please use Windows Key + R to show the Run dialog box, and select some text in this dialog. What colour is the selection shown in?
I have changed my selected items colour, via:
Control Panel -> Personalization -> Window Color -> Advanced appearance settings... -> Item = Selected Items
to red, and my Run dialog looks like this:
If you are not seeing the colour change here, then we need to look at your windows settings. If you are seeing the colour change here, but not in the IDE then this helps to narrow down the problem a bit. |

The problem has been solved perfectly.
Appreciate your help very much. |
