How to Create Dynamic List Boxes.

106 New Member
I was wondering if can some help me with creating a dynamic list box.

I have a combobox with the list of items (item1, item2, item3).
item1 has 5 sub items
item2 has 10 sub items
item3 has 2 sub items

I want the size of the list box to change depending on the number of sub items available.

I hope this is clear.

Thanks

The short answer to this is that you can but it's complicated.
The properties for .Height & .Width (you're interested in .Height I suspect.) are dynamically adjustable within your VBA code.
NB. The units to supply in the code are NOT the same as you use in design view necessarily. You will need to do some experimentation to determine what to ask it to do.
What you need to do is determine the number of items in the list first (.ListCount of your ListBox control) and, using that, determine the .Height value required.
Unfortunately, the size of the form itself, while it can be set in code, doesn't seem to change its visible size on screen ever :(.
Ok than, if that is the case I better saty with what I have now,
Thank you so much to both you Neopa and Mary for helping with my query.
