Add a scroll arrow to an Active X combo box

**JO505** · 03-20-2013, 12:34 PM

I have an application were I would like to use an Active X combo box instead of a regular dropdown list. The list contains 64 items and the text becomes very small in a standard dropdown list. Using an Active X Combo Box allows me to enlarge the text for easier viewing but with 64 items the list tends to run off the sheet. Is their a switch or some other way (scrolling) to make it more viewer friendly?

Since their appears to be no further thoughts on this I will consider it solved.

Using an ActiveX combo box will do the job.. In the properties change the List Rows to the number of rows you want to show up...

Jason,

I have the setting set for 64 rows but I still cant see all of the list as I can in a standard dropdown. I can use the up and down keys to scroll through the list one at a time but I would like to be able to see more of the list at a single viewing. I dont know if this is possible or not, my gut feeling is that it is not possible.
