Hi Guys,
I need a little help with an odd problem. I want to make a combo box a lot
bigger than normal but when i use the handles to resize it, the small black
arrow on the right hand side of the box won't increase in size to match the
rest of the control. I hope this makes sense but any help is much appreciated

Ta,
Jen
 
I think the size of the dropdown button is based on the font size of the
combo box.

Not sure why you would want to increase the vertical size since you will
only see one row at a time and the text will not wrap in a combo box.

Thanks for your reply.....i tried making the font larger but that doesn't
work. The reason i need a larger combo box is because we are asking people to
complete a questionnaire using a touch-screen and the dept involved want the
buttons as big and chunky as possible. A little silly but there you are :)
 
The size of the drop down button is controlled by Windows settings.
You can go to Windows Properties/Appearance/Advanced, select
Scrollbar from the item list and increase the size. Be aware this
will increase the size of the scroll bars for all Windows programs.
 
Thanks Sean...that did the job. I'll change back to the original settings
after we've finished the survey

Cheers,
Jen :)
