Roughly speaking, display the download not in the progressbar, but in the combobox?

What I have tried:

We were advised to subscribe to the Draw event and draw a progressbar in the background of the combobox control, but I don’t know how.

Yes, it is. What's your issue?

I am a novice and I don’t know how to do it. It would be great if you would give me an example!

What technology is this for? WinForms? WPF? XAMARIN? ASP.NET? MVC?

Solution 1

You're mixing "in the CB" and "in the background".

"In the CB" makes no sense unless it's just below or above. "ON top" would stop interaction with the CB.

For the Background, put the (smaller) CB OVER the (wider) progress bar on the form.

Make the combo box semi-transparent (if you want).

Solution 2

Maybe you can use this: Animator for WinForms[^]
It will allow to animate almost any Winforms control.
