Hi all,
I have a combo box on a subform that contains some long entries, much
longer that wth width of the combo.
Is there any way (and I'm guessing this is heading for Lebans
terretory!) for a tooltip to appear with the full text of each entry
in the combo list as I pass over it.
For example: I drop down the combo list & hold my mouse over the 4th
option. On screen all you can see is "This is a" due to the width of
the combo, but a tooltip would show "This is a really long entry".
It's a long shot, but it would be damned impressive if it worked.


Thanks in advance

Ben

Have you tried increasing the width of that column in the combo's "ColumWidths"
property?
 
Bruce:
Doesn't seem to work, It the column is limited to the width of the
control.

You need to set the "List Width" property of the combo box, too. Set it to at
least the sum of all the column widths.
