CMFCDropDownListBox::OnDrawItem should use DT_NOPREFIX to correctly display strings that use the '&' character. This would also be consistent with CMFCRibbonComboBox. I can't escape the '&' using another one, as CMFCRibbonComboBox does use DT_NOPREFIX and so I end up with a double '&&' in the combo.
Details (expand)

Visual Studio/Silverlight/Tooling version

Visual Studio 2010

Add some strings to it that contain the '&' character.
Drop down the combo list.

Actual results

Don't use the '&' character in your ribbon combobox items!

I think deriving from CMFCRibbonComboBox and overriding CMFCRibbonComboBox::OnDrawDropListItem to draw the text as required would get around this.
