MS Access Forum / Forms / November 2007Access 2000: How to see long strings in ListBox?
In Access2003 when a string does not fit in the ListBox control, I can left-click on visible part of the string and in about 1 sec a tooltip balloon will popup and show me entire string. When is Access 2000 left-click does NOT show that tooltip. Maybe this is turned off somewhere in Options? I did not find it... How can I see long strings in ListBoxes in Access2000? any ideas will be appreciated thanks john > In Access2003 when a string does not fit in the ListBox control, I can > left-click on visible part of the string and in about 1 sec a tooltip [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > thanks > john I'm not sure about the tool-tip text but I sometimes put a double-click event behind the listbox which opens a messagebox displaying the full contents of the columns. This may do what you need. Ed Metcalfe. Actually, I seriously doubt that it will show "the entire string", since the maximum width of a column in a listbox is 256 characters. I usually do the same thing as Ed, especially if the record has a memo field. I check for the Mousedown event, and if it is the right buttton, will popup a dialog box with the entire text, as read only.
