problem with dropdown box


Hello,

I am using a combo box/drop down box, in which i have 50 values, when i am
clicking that combo box the values occupies horizontally whole screen and it
looks odd, so, i want, when i click the combo box only 5 has to be displayed
and remaining must be viewed by scrolling.

Thanks in Advance

Windows or Web app?

With web, you can use other techniques to include values, like an "Ajax"
drop down" (does not have to actually be Ajax, just a DIV and some
JavaScript with the data).

The horizontal issue is probably long values. You cannot cure that without
some trick, like JavaScript. But, you can create shorter descriptions, in
most cases.

Good luck!
