We have a cextgridcellcombobox. Our font size for the grid is XX, but the combobox dropdown shows a font of YY. Is there a way to set the item font for the drop list? 


Thanks,

CJ

Prof-UIS 2.85 prevents this situation automatically. The CExtGridCell::OnPopupListBoxAdjustSize() virtual method does popup list box size adjustment and you can see well looking list box on the screen. If the list box has only a few items, then it’s height is decreased and you don’t see white space at the bottom. The width of the list box is adjusted to fit its items. Older Prof-UIS versions require overriding of the CExtGridCell::OnPopupListBoxMeasureTrackSize() or CExtGridWnd::OnGridCellPopupListBoxMeasureTrackSize() virtual methods if you need to change the size of the popup list box.

I have those two functions in my custom class, but the problem i run into is, i’m not totally sure how i should change those functions to increase the font size and rect size.

Please take a look at the source code of the CExtGridCell::OnPopupListBoxItemDraw and CExtGridCell::OnPopupListBoxItemMeasure methods. Both are invoking the _tcsi.m_wndGrid.OnSiwGetDefaultFont() code. The CExtScrollItemWnd::OnSiwGetDefaultFont() method provides all the grid parts with the default font for painting and measuring. You should simply replace the _tcsi.m_wndGrid.OnSiwGetDefaultFont() code invocation with some your code for providing popup list box with required font.

It’s possible to replace the font of the popup list boxes displayed from the grid cells. But currently this requires coding a grid cell class which implements the CExtGridCell::OnPopupListBoxItemMeasure() and CExtGridCell::OnPopupListBoxItemDraw() virtual methods.
We can regard your message is a feature request and provide you with the source code update which will allow you to assign a font to popup list boxes and/or individual list box items.
