Re: ComboBox MultiSelect - Visual Problems

Hi FMR,  Hi Sibprogsistem,
My understanding is that checkboxes (and radio buttons although MVD doesn't support them) are fixed size bitmaps and determined by Windows.  It's this that is determining the size of the combobox height, irrespective of what you change the font size to be.
As a work-around, what I've done in the past is to create a blank entry in the combobox (make sure that the combobox is sorted) so that at least the first 'proper' selection isn't being obscured, but it's far from ideal.
Please have a look at the attachment.
Derek.

Dear derek
Thanks for your amazing work and smart solution for 1st choice, but the issue I faced when I use MultiSelect and the computer connected to external 4K monitor the selection appear very small.


Thanks sibprogsistem
This is will not change the size if I activate MultiSelect option.
