To reproduce: use the following code snippet: public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { this.radDropDownList1.Items.Add("item" + i); } this.radDropDownList1.ListElement.AutoSizeItems = true; this.radDropDownList1.DefaultItemsCountInDropDown = this.radDropDownList1.Items.Count; radDropDownList1.VisualListItemFormatting += radDropDownList1_VisualListItemFormatting; } private void radDropDownList1_VisualListItemFormatting(object sender, VisualItemFormattingEventArgs args) { args.VisualItem.Font = new System.Drawing.Font("Segoe UI", 24F, (((System.Drawing.FontStyle.Bold))), System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Point, ((byte)(0))); args.VisualItem.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Navy; args.VisualItem.TextAlignment = System.Drawing.ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter; args.VisualItem.ImageAlignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter; args.VisualItem.TextImageRelation = TextImageRelation.ImageBeforeText; args.VisualItem.TextWrap = true; } When the pop up is opened, the vertical scroll bar is displayed, although the DefaultItemsCountInDropDown property is set to the Items.Count. Workaround: bool flag = false; SizeF size; private void radDropDownList1_PopupOpening(object sender, CancelEventArgs e) { if (!flag) { flag = true; e.Cancel = true; this.radDropDownList1.DropDownMinSize = new Size((int)size.Width, (int)size.Height * this.radDropDownList1.Items.Count + 1); this.radDropDownList1.ShowDropDown(); } } private void radDropDownList1_VisualListItemFormatting(object sender, VisualItemFormattingEventArgs args) { args.VisualItem.Font = new System.Drawing.Font("Segoe UI", 24F, (((System.Drawing.FontStyle.Bold))), System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Point, ((byte)(0))); args.VisualItem.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Navy; args.VisualItem.TextAlignment = System.Drawing.ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter; args.VisualItem.ImageAlignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter; args.VisualItem.TextImageRelation = TextImageRelation.ImageBeforeText; args.VisualItem.TextWrap = true; if (args.VisualItem.DesiredSize.Height > size.Height) { size = args.VisualItem.DesiredSize; } }
