DataCombo Height and also number of rows

:confused:

Dear All,

In a form I am using DataCombo to show records from a table so that the user selects the desirde record. However I have several problems with it:

1. I can not change the height of DataCombo. It only changes when I change the font properties (size, bold, etc). This will tamper the harmony with other parts on my form.

2. I have a combo that I want to populate with a table with only two records. However a drop down list appears with 8 rows, 2 filled and 6 empty. I want to tell it to display only two rows.

3. Say my combo shows the following from a table:
10001
10002
10003
and user may select one from the above list. I use the property 'SelectedItem' to fetch the bookmark of the record. When the user uses arrow keys or mouse to select for list it works fine. But when he types in 10002 the SelectedItem property is null. It happens often because the users know the codes by heart.

If I can not acheive thes using DataCombo, is there any better control?

Thanx
Mahmoud
