How to add long items and scroll bars to combobox?

[Norm]

Hi All,

I have a combobox that is being sourced by a table of very long strings.
However, only the first 254 characters of my strings are being filled into
the combobox. Is there a way to get around this length limitation?

Also, I made the combobox long and wide in order to display as much of the
selected item's text as possible. However, all of the text does not
display within the box, so I'd like to have scroll bars on my combobox. Is
that possible?

Thanks,
Norm

Norm,

You need to add a new field to whereever your combobox gets its data. This field
should be used for a short description of your long text. Then you need to
display the new field in your combobox.
