title: Can I get TComboBoxEx to be the same Height as TComboBox?
body: <p>In Delphi, all the TEdit and TComboBox controls are 21 pixels high by default. In the case of TComboBox, this size is absolute and trying to stretch it to something bigger doesn't work. In the case of TComboBoxEx though, the default height is 22 pixels, which makes it stand out a little on any form where you use it. Now according to the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb775738%28VS.85%29.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Microsoft docs</a>, ComboBoxEx is essentially a ComboBox with owner-drawn functionality being handled to allow images and indentation.</p>
  
  <p>So is it possible to make my TComboBoxEx controls 21 pixels high? What does this depend on?</p>
  
  <p>Update: I added a <a href="http://qc.embarcadero.com/wc/qcmain.aspx?d=76910" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Quality Central report</a> on the issue, as suggested by Roddy. Also, I found a fix. Apparently, the size depends on the size of item -1 in the combobox. So you set that size to 15 (or one pixel less than the default size) and the box shrinks to the more familiar 21 pixels.</p>
