Default size for dropdownlist

[tshad]

Is there a way to set the Default size of a DropDownList?

If there is nothing to fill it with you get a really small (width) control
that looks kind of funny. I wanted to set it to be abou 50px if there is
nothing in the box. Width doesn't seem to work.

Thanks,

Tom

have you tried setting the sytle?

dropdownList.Styles.Add("width", "200px");

or something?

the downside of using a style, is it fixes the width, so it better be width
enough to display the dropdown values once added. you can use a style width
only when there are no entries to get around this.

To resolve this problem pepole usually add one default entry text to the
Dropdown box like "Add the Items". dont know if that trick works for you also.

Hope this helps.

Both solutions would work.

I can always add the style when empty and when not, take it out.
