ComboBoxAdv missing OwnerDraw and DrawItem

[Vince]

I am creating a comboBox to show a list of line thickness items.
With the conventional MS ComboBox I can set to OwnerDraw and then call DrawItem to create line thickness examples directly on the combo's initial draw.

It seems that the ComboBoxAdv is missing OwnerDraw and DrawItem.

Yes I can work around by creating another loop to create images and then loop through to add the images to the ComboBoxAdv, but that's about as clunky as a Model A Ford.

...just to further explain why I want DrawItem. The line thickness graphics are created on the fly in the same color that the operator had selected ...just so the operator gets a nice warm fuzzy feeling.

Hi Vince,

Thank you for using Syncfusion products.

This reported requirement for customizing ComboBoxAdv items can be achieved by using DrawMode property and DrawItem event in ComboBoxAdv ListBox. Please refer the below code snippet for your reference.

Code snippet [C#]:

// DrawMode in ComboBoxAdv

this.comboBoxAdv1.ListBox.DrawMode = DrawMode.OwnerDrawFixed;

//DrawItem event in ComboBoxAdv
comboBoxAdv1.ListBox.DrawItem += new DrawItemEventHandler(ListBox_DrawItem);

We have also prepared a sample for your reference and it can be downloaded from the following location.
