Listboxes font setting not automatic anymore!

[John Lokanis]

I am running into a problem using listboxes in LV8. I often use these in my UIs to get operator input. Normally, I will populate these at runtime with a list of choices. Because of this, I do not know in advance how many selections there will be. In development, I will create a few items and set the font size to something that works well with my UI. All items in the listbox would get the same font size automatically.

Well, with LV8, they now allow each item to have it's own font. So, when I populate my listbox, many of the items at the bottom have the default system font instead of the larger font I intended. This is really annoying. After reviewing the properties, there appears to be only one way to fix this: After populating the listbox, set each cell to be the active cell one-by-one and then set it's cell font to the desired font.

There has got to be a better way. I need to set a default font for the listbox so that new cells will inherit this font as the list grows.

Looks like they added a feature that actually takes away from the usefulness of the old feature! :headbang:

Any ideas?

This is not a bug, nor is it a problem for LV8 only. If you select the entire listbox so that a flashing dotted line is around the listbox, then go to the font settings and select the font and size, the setting wil propogate to the entire listbox. I tested this and it works for me.
