The text in my combo box is longer than the control can show, when I click on
the down arrow, I can see the whole text, but when I select one of the items,
the text box of the combo box shows the end of the text. Due to limited room
I can not expanded the combo box control, so I want to show the front of the
text and not the default back of the text when a user selects a value.

Currently the user selects from the combo box, then has to hit the "home"
key to see the beginning of the text.
 
Mike,

This makes in my idea no sense, you can wider your combobox or put it on a
popup showdialog form.
All other solutions will be changed in feature because of the customers who
will go on complaining.

Like I said, "Due to limited room I can not expanded the combo box control..."

If there is no easy solution, then I will send the text of the combo box to
a label. I have room for a label at the top of the form, I just don't have
room to expand the combo box.
 
As I said a popup window a little bit of pseudo here.

dim frm as new MyComboboxWindow
frm.Dataset = ...
frm.DisplayMember = ...
frm.showdialog
whatIneeded = frm.theresult
frm.dispose
