Hi,

I am creating a value list of fonts and setting the appearance property of each font in the list. There are about 300 fonts in the list.
The value list is then assigned to the UltraComboEditor.ValueList.

This works except that the first time the drop down is selected, it takes about 8 second for the drop down to display.

I suspect that the appearance property is assigned to each of the ValueListItems when the drop down is selected.
Is there a way to increase the performance of the drop down?

Here is a sample of my code.

This code is executed in the dialog constructor that the UltraComboEditor resides in.

 ValueList fontNameList = new ValueList();

            foreach (string fontName in _annotationProperties.FontNames)
            {

                DefaultableBoolean bold = fontName.IndexOf("Bold") != -1 ? DefaultableBoolean.True : DefaultableBoolean.False;
                DefaultableBoolean italic = fontName.IndexOf("Italic") != -1 ? DefaultableBoolean.True : DefaultableBoolean.False;
                fontName.Trim();
                ValueListItem valueListItem = new ValueListItem() { DataValue = fontName, DisplayText = fontName };

                valueListItem.Appearance.FontData.Name = fontName;
                valueListItem.Appearance.FontData.Bold = bold;
                valueListItem.Appearance.FontData.Italic = italic;

                fontNameList.ValueListItems.Add(valueListItem);
            }

            _fontListDropDown.ValueList = fontNameList;
            _fontListDropDown.SortStyle = ValueListSortStyle.Ascending;
            _fontListDropDown.DropDown();

     ValueList fontNameList = new ValueList();

            foreach (string fontName in _annotationProperties.FontNames)
            {

                DefaultableBoolean bold = fontName.IndexOf("Bold") != -1 ? DefaultableBoolean.True : DefaultableBoolean.False;
                DefaultableBoolean italic = fontName.IndexOf("Italic") != -1 ? DefaultableBoolean.True : DefaultableBoolean.False;
                fontName.Trim();
                ValueListItem valueListItem = new ValueListItem() { DataValue = fontName, DisplayText = fontName };

                valueListItem.Appearance.FontData.Name = fontName;
                valueListItem.Appearance.FontData.Bold = bold;
                valueListItem.Appearance.FontData.Italic = italic;

                fontNameList.ValueListItems.Add(valueListItem);
            }

            _fontListDropDown.ValueList = fontNameList;
            _fontListDropDown.SortStyle = ValueListSortStyle.Ascending;
            _fontListDropDown.DropDown();
