Can anyone tell me if there is a way to control how many
items the user sees when they click on the down-arrow of
a combo box?

The comboBox is of the type that they cannot enter their own
value, they have to select from the pre-defined list.

VB seems to be defaulting to 7 or 8 items. I want to set it to
9 or 10.

Delphi has a property called DropDownCount. Is there anything
similar in VB?

If you know the answer, please supply a code example.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Regards,
John Auston

John ,
There is a sample at either www.mvps.org.vbnet or www.mvps.org.vb
I can't remember which. I believe the latter.

Thanks. I just went to www.mvps.org and found a lot of valuable stuff.
I did not know it was so involved, however, to simply change the number
of dropdown items. Sheesh!

Thanks again.

John

1)  http://www.mvps.org/vbnet/
2) Select "Code Library"
3) Select "List & Combo"
4) Select "Changing Combo Dropdown Height"
5) Save HTML page retrieved

If this is not it, I must have misread the ng request.
