Hi,

Initially I increased the height of the combobox using CCombobox::SetItemHeight(-1,30),

Till this point everything is ok,But as soon as I increased the height of the combobox,the combobox data is not centrally aligned.Still it is being aligned at the top.

Now I want to make the combobox data or text to be aligned centred (Vertically).

Can anyone please let me know how can I align the text vertically centred.

Thanks in advance.

This can't be achieved in a simple way. It is possible to get a pointer to the edit or static control of the combo box. But with edit controls the vertical alignment can't be set and with static controls the SS_CENTERIMAGE style can't be changed after the control has been created.

So the control must be subclassed (see MSDN How to subclass CListBox and CEdit inside of CComboBox [^]).

For a static control, the derived class must set the SS_CENTERIMAGE style upon creation.

For an edit control you must create one that supports vertically centered display. Searching for "cedit vertical alignment" will give you solutions (e.g. http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/v-s/devstudio_macros/textoperations/article.php/c8491/Vertical-Text-Centering-in-an-Edit-Control.htm[^]).
