<div>
u have to override the MeasureItem function of CComboBox for eg:<br />
void CColorListBox::MeasureItem<wbr />(LPMEASURE<wbr />ITEMSTRUCT<wbr /> lpMIS)<br />
{<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;// all items are of fixed size<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;// must use LBS_OWNERDRAWVARIABLE for this to work<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;lpMIS-&gt;itemHeight = COLOR_ITEM_HEIGHT &nbsp;;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
}<br />
I think this is what u needed<br />

Sheeba,<br />
<br />
1. What is COLOR_ITEM_HEIGHT?<br />
I want the height to be exactly the same size like non-ownerdrawn item.<br />
<br />
2. My ComboBox is not &nbsp;LBS_OWNERDRAWVARIABLE. It is fixed.<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
If combobox or listbox is defined as fixed ownerdraw, height of its items is changed by MFC. &nbsp;I am doing the following thing for getting back normal size. But may be there is more simple or elegant solution.<br />
<br />
&nbsp; CClientDC dc(this);<br />
&nbsp; CFont* pOldFont = dc.SelectObject(GetFont())<wbr />;<br />
&nbsp; TEXTMETRIC tm;<br />
&nbsp; VERIFY (dc.GetTextMetrics ( &amp;tm ));<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;SetItemHeight (0, tm.tmHeight + 2);
