Thanks , maybe you misunderstand it ,but I wanna just to ues the font style like Times New Roman , Arial and so on . not the underline or bold , so it is only a font choose combobox .

Yeah , but I can not compile it on the VS2010 even I has included the WTL header files .

yeah - it does look a bit old

You're only really interested in the OnMeasureItem and OnDrawItem messages; just create/subclass a WTL combobox and handle those messages

Google for OWNERDRAW combobox atl to get more specific ideas
