Combo Box Size Issue After All Items Are Removed

Question

My application contains a ComboBox that the user can delete items from. When the program starts up it populates the ComboBox from a list of strings read in from a configuration file.

Here is the code to add items:

// version list is an array of strings
foreach (string version in versionList)
{
  versionComboBox.Items.Add(version);
}
if (versionComboBox.Items.Count > 0)
{
    versionComboBox.SelectedIndex = 0;
}

Here is a screenshot of the combo box after it's been populated:

If the user clicks the Delete button the program removes the selected item from the ComboBox using the following code:

if (versionComboBox.SelectedIndex >= 0)
{
    versionComboBox.Items.Remove(versionComboBox.SelectedItem);
}
if (versionComboBox.Items.Count > 0)
{
    versionComboBox.SelectedIndex = 0;
}

Here is a screenshot of the combo box after a few items have been removed:

The problem I am having is when the last item is removed the ComboBox resizes itself to the size it was when it was initially populated. There aren't any items in the ComboBox but it sizes itself as if there were.

Here is a screenshot after all the items have been removed:

As you can see the size is too big. I would think that after all the items were cleared it would look like the following:

Any ideas as to why this is happening?

Try to use this at the end of your code when you are filling the combobox items:

comboBoxNumTreno.IntegralHeight = true; // auto fit dropdown list

Then to clear it up:

comboBoxNumTreno.ResetText();
comboBoxNumTreno.Items.Clear();
comboBoxNumTreno.SelectedIndex = -1;
comboBoxNumTreno.DropDownHeight = 106; // default value
comboBoxNumTreno.IntegralHeight = false;
