resize a drop down..
Does anyone know how to control the size area of a drop down combo box? I want it to display EVERYTHING in the list without the scrollbars. Is that possible?

thanks!

Isn't a standard combo dropdown width the same as the width of the control?

Access VBA has resizable combos if you are using Access.

not the width.....I have like 20 items in the list, but when you select the dropdown, only about 5 are shown, and the rest you have to scroll to see. Know what I mean? I was just wondering if there was a way for ALL of the list to be viewed without scrolling.

Use a ListBox instead of a dropdown.

Send a message via MSN to Mythomep
It's possible, but...
Hi,

If you are developing for the Windows XP environment, and you include a manifest with your application, you can send a CB_SETMINVISABLE message to the combobox.

Go to http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...tminvisible.asp for information about the message.

Grtz.©

You can set the ListRows property of the combobox to
whatever value you want.
Code:
combo1.ListRows = 20
Set so that is lists all items.
I could not find anyother way to do this.
