Combo Box Dropdown LAF

[HISEnberg]

Anyone know how to create LAF for the Combo Box's dropdown menu? I have one calling ~50 IRs so the list is too long and I need to shorten it.

LAF can't really help you here.

But the functions are in the docs - https://docs.hise.audio/glossary/custom_lookandfeel.html#popup-menu

@HISEnberg Look in my ui toolkit - there is an LAF'd combo box, along with a detailed tutorial.

@clevername27 Thank you for putting that tutorial together, I had some fun with it a while back! Unfortunately, it doesn't show anyway to stylize the dropdown portion of the combo box. I think it is as Mr. Healey is hinting at, that to edit this portion you need to go into the source code.

You can use LAF to style it. What you can't do is shorten the list except by removing items, making each item smaller, or putting them into submenus (which is a brand new feature).

@d-healey Sincerest apologies, it is totally possible I had completely misunderstood! Thanks for you help
