Changing combobox font

[d.healey]

@christoph-hart Is there a method to change the text size of a combo box? Because my custom font is coming out tiny. Also I noticed that setting the global font also affects some of the text of the HISE interface too!

Same here. When I investigated around the Hise sources I found that ComboBox is a JUCE module and there's no way (apparently) to set the font size after using the globalfont function as you can see from the code :(

void ComboBox::paint (Graphics& g)
{
    getLookAndFeel().drawComboBox (g, getWidth(), getHeight(), isButtonDown,
                                   label->getRight(), 0, getWidth() - label->getRight(), getHeight(),
                                   *this);

    if (textWhenNothingSelected.isNotEmpty()
         && label->getText().isEmpty()
         && ! label->isBeingEdited())
    {
        g.setColour (findColour (textColourId).withMultipliedAlpha (0.5f));
        g.setFont (label->getLookAndFeel().getLabelFont (*label));
        g.drawFittedText (textWhenNothingSelected, label->getBounds().reduced (2, 1),
                          label->getJustificationType(),
                          jmax (1, (int) (label->getHeight() / label->getFont().getHeight())));
    }
}

@Christoph-Hart Today is a productive day :D

[Christoph Hart]

Yeah, just crawling through the stuff that has piled up...

[Lindon]

@Christoph-Hart OK I can set the font, any way I can change the font size?

[ustk]

@Lindon Actually you can ;)

[Lindon]

@ustk woah - mine looks NOTHING like that:

-- am I on some earlier scriptnode release?

[d.healey]

@Lindon Font options is under the items list.

[Lindon]

@d-healey yeah I see that - but NOT on my implementation - it stops at the list...

like this:

[d.healey]

@Lindon When did you last rebuild? My version is from the 25th of September.

[Lindon]

@d-healey ..yeah mines from 11 july....look like I will have to re-build but I dont see anything in git hub about this

[d.healey]

@Lindon July! Oh you're living in the past, definitely grab the latest.

[Lindon]

@d-healey LOl - yeah thats me - old and infirm and living in the past...

[ustk]

@Christoph-Hart The text alignment property would be nice to have too ;)

[Lindon]

@ustk it surely would - but that was my problem (being old and infirm - and not up to date with my HISE releases) but I'm pretty sure many people will tell you I'm at least the first two. of those...
