Height of RadDropDownList when using AutoComplete

[Brian]

This is using version 2013 Q1 and also 2013 Q1 SP1:

Dropping a new RadDropDownList on a form sets its size to 125, 20.

This is the auto generated code for the control in the designer code:

this.radDropDownList1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(591, 28);
this.radDropDownList1.Name = "radDropDownList1";
this.radDropDownList1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(125, 20);
this.radDropDownList1.TabIndex = 9;
this.radDropDownList1.Text = "radDropDownList1";

Setting the drop down's AutoCompleteMode to 'SuggestAppend' changes the size to 125, 22.

this.radDropDownList1.AutoCompleteMode = System.Windows.Forms.AutoCompleteMode.SuggestAppend;
this.radDropDownList1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(591, 28);
this.radDropDownList1.Name = "radDropDownList1";
this.radDropDownList1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(125, 22);
this.radDropDownList1.TabIndex = 9;
this.radDropDownList1.Text = "radDropDownList1";

The other controls on the form are all at a height of 20, specifically the RadTextbox that is right next to the drop down. This mismatched sizing looks poor.

How can I change the height of my dropdown back to 20. All my attempts at doing so are ignored and the height returns to 22, even when I try to change the size of the DropDownListElement and the RootElement.

Hi Brian,

Thank you for writing.

I can confirm this behavior and I have logged this issue in our Public Issue Tracking System. You can track its progress, subscribe for status changes and add your vote/comment to it on the following link - PITS Issue. Until the issue is resolved you can set the MaximumSize Height property of your DropDownLists to 20. For example:

this.radDropDownList1.MaximumSize = new System.Drawing.Size(125, 20);

I have also updated your Telerik points for bringing this issue to our attention. Do not hesitate to write back if you have further questions.

All the best,
Peter
