VB Controls, Modify the Width of the Drop Down List in a Combo Box

Modify the Width of the Drop Down List in a Combo Box

Laura #1 / 5	Modify the Width of the Drop Down List in a Combo Box The width of the combo box is smaller than the width of the text,. I can not re-size the combo box on the form as it will not work visually. Just need to have the list pop open wider than the combo box when it is selected. I found an article about this on MSDN but it is for C programmers. Perhaps there is already a more versatile combobox control in existance. Any Suggestions?

Rocky Clar #3 / 5	Modify the Width of the Drop Down List in a Combo Box Before you get too far with the MSForms 2.0, you may want to look it up on the Microsoft site. These controls are for Office only and you are not allowed to distribute them with your VB program.

Mike #4 / 5	Modify the Width of the Drop Down List in a Combo Box No. You should not use the MSForms controls. 1. The file fm20.dll is not redistributable. Your users will either have to have MS Office installed or they'll have to download some rinky-dink little program from MS that will install fm20.dll. Either way, it's not a requirement you should put on a user. 2. The MSForms controls were not designed for use with application development tools such as VB. They were designed for use with VBA in MS Office. Thusly, there are known problems when used with VB and other development tools such as VC++. See the following KB articles: PRB: "Error 7 - Out of Memory" Error Message From Visual Basic Application Using FM20.DLL Article ID: Q241245 http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q241/2/45.ASP INFO: Usage and Redistribution of FM20.DLL Article ID: Q224305 http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q224/3/05.ASP Remember, just because a component is listed in the Components dialog box doesn't give you automatic rights to use that component in your own applications. You must have a license to use and distribute it. Mike Quote: > Have found aother answer - simply add the MSForms 2.0 object libray for a > more flexable control
