Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I am needing help changing the font size of the drop down selection options. I am able to change the text that fills into the card but not the actual selection options when looking at the drop down. The text that is filled into the drop down is rather long and users are not able to see all of the information they need to make the selection. Drop down selection.PNG

There is no property to control text size for a dropdown other than SIZE. I believe that SIZE only controls the “selected item” text though and not the “options list“ text.

The option names are very long and include some repetitive text (such as Baylor Scott and White). Perhaps you could solve this issue with a cascading menu design. There would be two dropdowns. First the user selects the owners name (Baylor Scott and White) from the first dropdown. Then the second dropdown would show only specific practices (dermatology) belonging to the owners. The full name of the clinic (owner + practice) does not have to be included in the second dropdown.

Smaller text would be nice to have here but I personally see this as more of a user interface design issue.

Hi @Anonymous

Could you confirm what browser you're using? I believe this is a bug that affects IE, but Chrome and other other browsers should work ok.

Alternatively, the ComboBox control doesn't seem to suffer from this problem, so you could maybe consider using that instead.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Which browser did you use?
I have made test on IE/Edge/Firefox browsers and iOS mobile, the options size are also affected by the Front Size property (Both Combo box and DropDown). Could you try to use other browsers?
