ComboBox.DropDownWidth

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I'm having some issues with the DropDownWidth property on the ComboBox control.  

I am trying to make the width of the dropdown portion of the combobox wider than the actual combobox.  I have tried to set the actual properties in the properties box and when that didn't produce any difference in the width, I tried modifying it in my code.  i.e. ComboBox1.DropDownWidth = 250

I would really appreciate it if anyone could send me a working example project (or just the code portion) that uses the Xtreme Suite Controls ActiveX ComboBox.dropdownwidth property in VB6.  

Thanks for any help you can give.

	I got it. Boy do I feel stupid... I increased the number to 2500 and got the results I was looking for.

	Hi, I have no problems with using the DropDownWidth in my programs. Drop a Combobox onto a form and set its width to 1500, then set the DropDownWidth to 3000.This works for me perfectly.
