Setting the drop-list listbox size in a combo-box
Thomas Dietz
Does anyone know how to set the drop down listbox size of a combo-box? By
default it is the height of one row. I can't seem to find any options in
the resource editor or in the CComboBox class member list.

Hi Thomas,
I'm using a little trick here. Change the style of a combobox to simple,
resize it to the height you'd like it to be, than change the style back to
dropdown. Drink some beer and enjoy the results. NOTE: beer is optional.

Tom,
If you click on a drop-down arrow of a cobmo-box in a resource editor,
you will be able to resize it.

In the resource editor, just click on the down arrow of the combo-box.
A frame appears, which you can then drag to the desired size.

If you want to resize in code, use MoveWindow, which will resize the
drop-down portion, not just the edit box. (The size of the edit box
depends on the font it's using).

I have tried that. No matter what size I save it as, it always changes it to
the height of one row (even if there are 10 rows).

Try clicking on the combo box image in your resource editor. That
should make the combo expand downwards. This expansion is how to set
the dropdown length. I don't know how to do this dynamically during
run time.

You are not, by any change, experiencing this under Win32s? I had
the same kind of problems, and had to resort to get the dropped
control rect (CB_GETDROPPEDCONTROLRECT) from the combo and then
MoveWindow()ing to that size in OnInitDialog().

In the resource editor, left-clicking on the text portion of the drop
down list box will only let you resize the closed state of the list
box. To resize the "open" state of the list box, left-click on the
pull down box on the right side of the text box. You will get a
different set of sizing handles.

Such that the width of listbox is not equal to the width of the editbox in
a combo-box.
Or, is there any method to get the handle of listbox in a combo-box?
Thanks.
