I have tried the code for putting a horizontal scrollbar on a list dialog element and it works.

I tried it on my combo element, and it doesn't work. Does anyone know if it is possible to add a horizontal scroll to the dropdown part of a combo element?

jwfv,
You can use the %%CB_SETHORIZONTALEXTENT = $15E which works the same as the message ID for the listbox element. The only thing is that if VDS uses the CBS_DISABLENOSCROLL style for the combo element this message will not work. But you can try it Smile

I don't know much about API programming. I changed the hex amount in the earlier example to the new value you gave, but it didn't seem to work. Did I do it correctly? Maybe VDS uses the code you mentioned, and this solution won't work.

Joe,
Is the number 200 in the @sendmsg line that you posted wider than your combo box?

It was - but I changed it to be the same as the combo and then changed it to less than the combo box, but it never showed up.
