different Font Weight in combo box field and combo box listing

[CurtisHight]

I have a combo box on a form.



I have many items in the combo box.

The Font Weight for my combo box is set to Bold (like all the fields on the form).

This Font Weight setting is also applied to the items displayed when I click on the combo box, but all this bold text looks messy.

Is there a way to set a Font Weight of Bold for the combo box field, but have a Font Weight setting of Normal applied to the text list when the combo box is clicked on?

None that I know of.

Could have a textbox display the value. Set the textbox as Locked Yes, TabStop No. Size the combobox so just the dropdown arrow is visible and position next to the textbox. However, this means can't view what is typed into combobox.

I think I have used June's example with the addition of adjusting the .Visible property of the TextBox. Using the afterupdate of the combo to adjust .Visible. If I recall this allows the user to type into the combo.

Another option may be to use themes in the combo properties. I believe themes will allow font adjustments when the user interacts with the combo.

Don't know what you mean by themes in combo properties.

I was thinking there might have been a "Use Theme" property in the format tab for combos. There is not. You can get a theme color or accent but did not see special effects for the combo.

I must have been thinking of a form I built using the technique you described.
