    Posted: 04 February 2009 at 10:54am
I can send an actual sample project if necessary, but to replicate this, just create a form with an ImageManager control and a ComboBox with DropdownList style. Add a single Icon to the ImageManager with ID 101. It should be a 16x16 icon. Then paste in this code and run. In the dropdown, it all looks great, but the selected item has the text clipped at the bottom. I tried using VerticalAlignment tag to bring the text up, but it doesn't seem to do anything. How can I fix this?

Private Sub Form_Load()

    SuiteControlsGlobalSettings.Icons.AddIcons ImageManager1.Icons

    With ComboBox1
        .EnableMarkup = True
   
        .AddItem "<TextBlock><Image Width='16' Height='16' Source='101' />Item 1</TextBlock>"
        .AddItem "<TextBlock><Image Width='16' Height='16' Source='101' />Item 2</TextBlock>"
        .AddItem "<TextBlock><Image Width='16' Height='16' Source='101' />Item 3</TextBlock>"
       
        .ListIndex = 0
    End With

End Sub

Hi,
try to move Image from TextBlock:
 
 .AddItem "<StackPanel Orientation="Hirizontal"><Image Width='16' Height='16' Source='101'/><TextBlock>Item 1</TextBlock></StackPanel>"

I think that this happens because the ComboBox height is locked to the font height, regardless of the markup size (try changing the height of the combobox and you'll see that it always snaps back to a certain size). You can workaround this by setting the font size of the ComboBox to something larger than you are using for your markup text, and then explicitly declare you TextBox font size as the smaller font size that you actually want...

For example:


    SuiteControlsGlobalSettings.Icons.AddIcons ImageManager1.Icons



    With ComboBox1
        .EnableMarkup = True
        .Font.Size = 12
   
        .AddItem "<TextBlock FontSize='8pt' VerticalAlignment='Center'><Image Width='16' Height='16' Source='101' /><Run BaselineAlignment='Center'>Item 1</Run></TextBlock>"
        .AddItem "<TextBlock FontSize='8pt' VerticalAlignment='Center'><Image Width='16' Height='16' Source='101' /><Run BaselineAlignment='Center'>Item 2</Run></TextBlock>"
        .AddItem "<TextBlock FontSize='8pt' VerticalAlignment='Center'><Image Width='16' Height='16' Source='101' /><Run BaselineAlignment='Center'>Item 3</Run></TextBlock>"
       
        .ListIndex = 0
    End With


Note that I've also added the Run tag with a center Baseline alignment to keep the text aligned nicely with the image.

Or Oleg's method seems to work ;)

Just change "Hirizontal" to "Horizontal"
