OK, in the "show the text" thing, instead of
// Show the text
TextOut(Rect.Left + Offset, Rect.Top, ComboBos1.Items[Index])
try
// Show the text
Inc(Rect.Left, Offset);
DrawText((Control as TComboBox).Canvas.Handle, Rect,
PChar(ComboBos1.Items[Index]),
Length(ComboBos1.Items[Index]), DT_LEFT or DT_MULTILINE);
Something like that, anyway. Look up DrawText in your Win32 API for the
exact parameters (I'm not at home, so I can't check). Using DrawText
enables you to specify all sorts of neat things like vertical
justification, ellipsis (shortening the text if it doesn't all fit) and
so on - far more flexible than TextOut.
