MeasureItem is a procedure used to get the height for an item in the drop-down list for the control.
MeasureItem is called when the LM_MeasureItem message is handled for the control. The value in ItemHeight has already been updated in the message handler, and is used for a list box Style that has a fixed item height. MeasureItem is called from the message handler when the Style uses a variable item height. The derived item height is stored in the ItemHeight property when it is a non-zero positive value.
MeasureItem signals the OnMeasureItem event handler (when assigned) to calculate the height for the specified item. The value in the Index argument determines the string value in Items used for the calculation. TheHeight is updated with the derived height for the list box item. An application must implement the OnMeasureItem event handler to calculate the height for variable height items in the control.
