I am sorry I didn't get to your post, I was in a hurry. Anyhow, use this code to make the combo width longer. I had to upgrade the code from some old website, but I hope you enjoy anyhow.

Private Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Integer, ByVal wMsg As Integer, ByVal wParam As Integer, ByRef lParam As Object) As Integer
 
    Private Sub SetComboWidth(ByRef cboCombo As System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox, ByRef lngWidth As Integer)
        SendMessage(cboCombo.Handle.ToInt32, &H160S, lngWidth, 0)
    End Sub
