Font for Combo Box Control
 

Hi, I placed a drop-down box (Combo Box) on one of my sheets and am trying to
figure out how to change the font size within the box. When I right click and
go into the control properties it doesn't give me an option to change the
font. If I select the control and then go up to the font size the font is
greyed out.

This seems like it would be very simple to do, but I can't figure it out.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

hi,
in design mode, right click the control. Scroll down to and click into the
box to the right of the word font. A small square will appear in the box.
click it and the font properties dialog box will appear.

controls have their own fonts. the fonts on the tool bar are for sheet fonts.

When I right click on the control the options that it gives me a
- Cut
- Copy
- Grouping
- Order
- Assign Macro
- Format Control

That is it, within format control there is no place to select Font? Am I
missing something?

You need to use the combobox from the control toolbox toolbar, not the forms
toolbar. Right click and select properties and you will see the font option
there
