Question : Resize Combobox


i want to resize my comboboxes to match the size of the textboxes.

i've seen that i can use:
cbo.DrawMode = DrawMode.OwnerDrawFixed
cbo.ItemHeight =15

to specify a custom height.

the problem is that once i do that i can't see any items in the comboxbox dropdown. The dropdown is the correct height for the number of items, and if i click inside the dropdown it selects the text thats there, just i can't see the text.

i'm thinking i need to capture some event and maybe call the base class, just not sure which one or if i'm on the right track.

Just had a look around for you and there is a good example here:

You'll just have to adjust the listbox to combobox, as the same commands should apply to both without any issues. Let us know how it goes.
