List Box Scrollbar Size

[Guest]

Hello,
(A'03) I would like to know if it is possible to change the size of the
vertical scrollbar in a list box. This is for a touch-screen application, and
‘fat fingers’ have a hard time hitting the stock narrow scrollbar. I tried
creating large command buttons to the side of the list box, but could not
mimic the action of a scrollbar within the list box. Any suggestions?

Thank you.

Terry

Make the combo box taller to increase the height of the scroll bar.
To make the scroll bar wider you need to set the Windows settings
(which changes all Windows/Office scrollbar sizes).
Click on the Desktop screen.
Select Properties + Appearance + Advanced.
Select Scrollbar from the Item dropdown list. Increase it's size (try
40).
Apply the changes and exit.

Sorry, you asked for a List Box scroll bar re-sizing and I answered
regarding a Combo Box re-size.

For a list box, just do the Windows setting as mentioned in my
previous reply.
