Combox Bold certain items

[Vadim Tabakman]

Hi all, Can someone please point me in the direction of how I would go about being able to set certain items in a ComboBox to Bold. Basically I want my Combo to look like this when i drop it down Group1 A B C Group 2 D E F Cheers Jubjub "If you're too careful, your whole life can become a f---in' grind." - Mike McD (Rounders

The only way you're going to be able to do that is if you ownerdraw the item list. The ComboBox doesn't support doing this on its own. You can find an example of ownerdrawing a ComboBox here[^]. RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome

Hi Dave, Thank you for that link. It was perfect. I am now trying to figure out how to get the default font a Combobox would use, so I can reuse that, and just change the setting to Bold for certain items.

That's a pretty good one too. How did I miss that? RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome
