Font not changing on comboBox. What am I doing wrong?

[David Healey]

@dannytaurus fontSize doesn't affect the popup items.

Something else interesting. I modified the drawComboBox laf function to include the font.

		Font font = getComboBoxFont(cb);

		obj->setProperty("fontName", font.getTypefaceName());
		obj->setProperty("fontSize", font.getHeight());

The font size is returned correctly but the fontName is always lato

Seems like font size for items works up to a max size.

Ah, it relates to item height, which is set from combo box height.

@dannytaurus I'm getting a crash when I load my project - it's a big project - going to try and see what the cause is.

@David-Healey So looks like item font size is set to combo box height / 1.3

Seems to be one of those crashes that magically resolves itself after restarting HISE a few times...

Still not sure why the font isn't correct in laf. I guess getComboBoxFont doesn't pick up the selected font.

@David-Healey
Which file are you adding this to?

		Font font = getComboBoxFont(cb);

		obj->setProperty("fontName", font.getTypefaceName());
		obj->setProperty("fontSize", font.getHeight());

@dannytaurus ScriptingGraphics.cpp in ScriptingObjects::ScriptedLookAndFeel::Laf::drawComboBox()

[dannytaurus]

@David-Healey Looks like Font font = getComboBoxFont(cb); might return the global font.

// hi_tools/hi_tools/HI_LookAndFeels.cpp

Font AlertWindowLookAndFeel::getComboBoxFont(ComboBox& comboBox)
{
	return GLOBAL_FONT();
}

There are quite a few definitions of getComboBoxFont and I don't which is which.

[David Healey]

@dannytaurus Ah yeah that would make sense. I wonder where HISE stores the actual selection from the property editor.
