  How do I set the text size of a C1ComboBox?

  The closest thing I can see is setting the TextFont property, which takes a C1Font object. I can’t figure out how I would do that in XAML, and when I try to set the TextFont property to a new C1Font object in the codebehind, I get an error.

  MyComboBox.TextFont = C1Font.Create(() => 12, null, null, null);
  

  Unable to cast object of type ‘C1.Xamarin.Forms.Core.C1Font’ to type ‘C1.UWP.Core.C1Font’.

  Am I missing an easier way to do this?

  Hi Jared

  Sorry for the delay on this. Let me talk to the developers about this one.

  Hi Jared

  The short answer to this question is that there isn’t presently a way to change the other font settings like FontSize, FontAttributes, and FontFamily, though this is an oversight on our part and we’re going to work on correcting this after the 2017v3 release (which will be next week). The C1Font object is actually meant to be internal, and it won’t work for this sort of configuration as it’s meant as a tool for internal code sharing rather than outside configuration. We will expose properties for FontSize, FontAttributes, and FontFamily in the future.

  Hi Jared

  It will be in the v1 release I mentioned is coming around mid March. We’ll be adding the following properties for configuring DropDown derived controls: TextFontSize, TextFontFamily, and TextFontAttributes.
