Combo arrow size

[Guest]

Hi

I remember seeing a post with a link showing a method in increaseing the
size of a combo box - not just the font but also the arrow and slider. Does
anyone remember this (I have searched and can not find it).

I am working on a touch screen application so "things" all need to be much
bigger. I know I can use a lable to dropdown the combo, set focus back etc
but was actually looking for the whole combo to be "finger size".

Happy new year and much thanks

The setting that controls the size of the arrow and slider is a Windows display
setting. That would make those things bigger everywhere, not just in your app.

Thanks Rick

I am sure there was a post about this but I could not find it and (as this
system is getting tested on Friday by the 3 new shops we have) I needed to do
something so I cheated and simply placed large buttons in the header
A B C D etc and used these to add to the previous string in a hidden field
then filtered the base query on that. Not very elegant but .....Never mind
it works now.

BUT it would be interesting to see if a combo "can" be enlarged. Not today
though - much too busy.


I Hope you and your family are having a realy good new year (I will have a
break at the weekend)

Thanks for the input.
