Hi Martin, -  - Thank you for the writing. -  - I am not sure that I completely  understand your scenario, following the description. That is why I would ask you to provide a more detailed explanation - a sample project with the regular combo-box would really help. -  - In case that you want to format the list items with same font as the control you can set the font directly to the control and using the VisualListItemFormatting event you can set same font to the list items: -  - public Form1() - { -     InitializeComponent(); -     this.radDropDownList1.Font = new System.Drawing.Font(Courier New, 15F, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular); -     this.radDropDownList1.VisualListItemFormatting += radDropDownList1_VisualListItemFormatting; -     this.radDropDownList1.AutoSizeItems = true; - } -   - void radDropDownList1_VisualListItemFormatting(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.VisualItemFormattingEventArgs args) - { -     args.VisualItem.Font = this.radDropDownList1.Font; - } -  -  - In case that you want to use a ListItem which have a description text below you should set DescriptionTextMember in addition to DisplayMember: -  - DataTable dt = new DataTable(); - dt.Columns.Add(Name, typeof(string)); - dt.Columns.Add(Description, typeof(string)); - dt.Rows.Add(Name, Description); - dt.Rows.Add(Name2, Description); - dt.Rows.Add(Name3, Description); - this.radDropDownList1.DisplayMember = Name; - this.radDropDownList1.DescriptionTextMember = Description; - this.radDropDownList1.DataSource = dt; -  -  - I hope this is a suitable for your scenario. -  - Regards, -  Peter  - Telerik -   -  - Check out the Telerik Platform - the only platform that combines a rich set of UI tools with powerful cloud services to develop web, hybrid and native mobile apps. -  -
