the combobox dropdown list is so small that an updown arrows appear beside it

I have comboboxes that was built on the OWL I moved them to MFC and I faced alittle problem, the dropdown list of the combobox is so short that it shows only one item and you can navigate to the other items by using udown arrows like in the picture enter image description here

the image on the left shows the short and incorrect one, the one on the right shows the release version that is working well. what can cause this problem? and hoe to fix it. think it is style issue

Open dialog template in Resource Editor. Select combobox by mouse. Click on the "Down Arrow" element in the right part of the combobox (in your case it may be left part, according to localization). Then resize the combo to required height - in this state it resizes dropdown list. Build application and test dropdown list height at runtime - it should be OK.

See also: CB_SETMINVISIBLE message - allows to resize dropdown list size programmatically. I have never use it in my programs, though, so this is just a hint.
