Topic: CXTComboBox not using system font

I have a CXTComboBox control in a CXTPToolbar. When it displays it uses a rather large non-system font.

I'm wondering what I'm doing make it look like this, and how I can get it to display with a normal system font like in the pictures on the Codejock website.

I am creating the toolbar and combo box like this:

// Create toolbar and load related resources   VERIFY(CreateToolBar(WS_VISIBLE|WS_CHILD|CBRS_TOOLTIPS|CBRS_ GRIPPER, pParentWnd, AFX_IDW_TOOLBAR));
VERIFY(LoadToolBar(IDR_PTEDITOR_TOOLBAR));
SetFlags(xtpFlagStretched);

// create the font combo box.
if (!m_fontCombo.Create(
    WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|WS_VSCROLL|CBS_OWNERDRAWFIXED|
    CBS_DROPDOWN|CBS_SORT|CBS_HASSTRINGS|WS_CLIPCHILDREN,
    CRect(5,3,150,250), this, ID_PTEDITOR_FONT ))
{
    TRACE0("Failed to create font combo.\n");
    return false;
}

m_fontCombo.InitControl( "Parksymbol", 285, TRUE );

Thanks for the help!
Craig

call

m_fontCombo.Initialize(...);

if you want to have Office 2003 theme in this combo you can use CXTPControlFontComboBox instead.

Initialize(...) isn't a member of CXTFontCombo? I'd prefer the Office 2003 theme, but I can't find a Create method for the CXTPControlFontComboBox (which I need because I'm putting it in a Toolbar).

I have the CXTPControlFontComboBox working, but it doesn't preview the font styles. Is this supported in the CXTPControlFontComboBox?

Thanks,
Craig

No :( In CustomThemes sample you can find how you can extend it.

Thanks for all the help Oleg. I'll take a look at the sample and extend it. :-)

Take Care,
