"Drop down" effect missing from Listbox

[Kyle Blaney]

I am using a Listbox and can not get the "drop down" effect. My
listbox is populated with 20 items and a vertical scrollbar is
automatically added. One item is visible. When I click on the
vertical scrollbar I can still only see one item at a time. The
effect I want is as follows:

The Listbox only displays one item until the user clicks on the
right-hand side. When the user clicks on the right-hand side, the
list "drops down" to make all items visible.

Can I do that with a Listbox or should I use a different type of
control?

It sounds to me like you are describing a ComboBox

Use the ComboBox control
