Just applied the following code will change you combo box width.

Option Explicit
Private Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, lParam As Long) As Long
Private Const CB_SETDROPPEDWIDTH = &H160

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    SendMessage Combo1.hwnd, CB_SETDROPPEDWIDTH, CLng(Text1), 0
End Sub

Chris,

Thanks for the fast reply, but I didn´t ask for that. I asked how to change the length of the dropdownlist from a combobox (so I can show more items when the user actvates it). Hope you also know the answer to that question.

Hello Dino

As far as I know the only way you kan change
the droplength of a combobox to use the
combobox from the Microsoft Forms2 Object Library
and change the Listrows property to the amount
of items you wan't to show.

Just wanna help

Anders,

I get this error-massage when i put the object on my form
"System Error &H80070485(-2147023739) Cant find library-file" perhaps the translation is not correct my message was partialy in Dutch. Did I do something during my installation?

Hi,

what VB and service pack are you running ?
This error usually is caused by bad file references for the component you are trying to use ( licences for OCX )...

Upgrade service pack ?
Re-install VB ?

hope I help...

Hi,

I´m running VB6 Pro and I don't know anything about a service(pack). Is there really no other way to do this???
