This method is called each time an owner-drawn System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox item needs to be drawn and before ComboBox.OnDrawItem(DrawItemEventArgs) is called. For more information, see ComboBox.MeasureItem.

Raising an event invokes the event handler through a delegate. For more information, see Raising an Event.

The ComboBox.OnMeasureItem(MeasureItemEventArgs) method also allows derived classes to handle the event without attaching a delegate. This is the preferred technique for handling the event in a derived class.
