Exactly what it says. :-)

Seriously. I'm not sure.

It might mean that the height of the height of the combobox shouldn't
be enlarged if it doesn't fit.

Look at the code below. Perhaps 
        if( infoPtr->himl ) {
should be changed to
        if( infoPtr->himl && !(infoPtr->dwExtStyle & CBES_EX_NOSIZELIMIT) )
{
or something.

Possible should other places be changed as well. Not sure.

I don't understand what it would be useful for either. Oh well...

Does anybody have any other ideas?

        ImageList_GetImageInfo(infoPtr->himl, 0, &iinfo);
        cy = max (iinfo.rcImage.bottom - iinfo.rcImage.top, cy);
