Fixes #6494
Proposed changes
ComboBox.FlatComboAdapter.ValidateOwnerDrawRegions
contained a bug in its initial null check that prevented the method from executing. This bug existed under Framework 4.8 (and possibly quite earlier):https://referencesource.microsoft.com/#System.Windows.Forms/winforms/Managed/System/WinForms/ComboBox.cs,6102
The bug was fixed in #6300, which resulted in a regression when drawing a
ComboBox
withFlatStyle.Flat
orFlatStyle.Popup
.While the stated purpose of
ValidateOwnerDrawRegions
was to reduce screen flicker, the fact remains that the method never actually executed and allowing it to execute now is causing problems. This PR fixes the issue by just removing the method altogether.Customer Impact
ComboBox
will draw itself correctly again.Regression?
