MS Access Forum / Forms / October 2005Combo Box Size
Is it possible to have a combo display at a wider width than it's resting state. I want to have it display all 3 columns when it drops down, but it only needs to be .5" wide to display the selected code. Seems like a waste space to make it 2" wide. My cheat is to adjust the width in code, but I was wondering if there was a setting in the properties that would do this automatically. TIA Paul  SignatureCan't we all just get along? Paul, No, there is only one Width property per control, no HasFocusWidth and NotHaveFocusWidth. But I think your solution is the best one.

The combo box's ListWidth property is what you're looking for. It defaults to "Auto", which just matches the width of the control, but you can set it wide enough that all columns show when you drop down the list.

Apologies to you, Paul, and my thanks to you, Dirk. I had been misinformed, and wasting a lot of space on my forms up to now. Not any more.

The Default setting is Auto. SignatureFred Please respond only to this newsgroup. I do not reply to personal e-mail |
