@mukulpurohit,

As per my knowledge, in MS Excel, the ComboBox form control does not allow you to change its fill color or background color. The customization options for these controls are quite limited. Please check it in MS Excel and correct me if I am wrong. Since Aspose.Cells follows MS Excel standards and specifications when using/implementing different features, this is not supported/allowed. You may try some workarounds.
e.g.,

  • Use a cell background color. You may place the ComboBox over a cell and change the cell’s background color. This doesn’t change the ComboBox’s fill color itself but can give the appearance of a different background if placed appropriately.

If you still think you can accomplish the task (change fill color of the combo box (form control) in MS Excel manually, let us know with a sample Excel file (please zip it prior to attaching it here). We will check on how to do it via Aspose.Cells API.
