    Is there a way to have the DropDownList DropDownHeight be determined on drop down ("popup opened")?

    Just figured out a way:

    private void CalculateSize(RadDropDownList list)
            {
                float height = 0;
     
                for (int x = 0; x < list.Items.Count(); x++)
                {
                    height += list.Items[x].MeasuredSize.Height;
                }
     
                height += 2;
                height = (height > list.DropDownMaxSize.Height) ? list.DropDownMaxSize.Height : (int)height;
     
                if (list.DropDownHeight != height)
                {
                    list.DropDownHeight = (int)height;
     
                    // Refresh?
                    list.CloseDropDown();
                    list.ShowDropDown();
                }
            }

    Call that function from "PopupOpened" or PopupOpening

    Hello Thomas,

    I can confirm that the PopupOpened/PopupOpening events are suitable for the purpose. Since by this time the drop down height is already set, the "refresh" is needed. 

    I would also like to mention that while your function will work when the AutoSizeItems = true, for the rest of the cases one can use the following property to retrieve the item's height:
    radDropDownList1.DropDownListElement.ItemHeight

    I hope that you find this information useful.

    Regards,
    Stefan
