Combo - Can't see all in list

[backer]

I have a combo box with about 120 items on the list. Sometimes when I click on it it only allows me to see some, maybe 30 of the items on the list. If I remember and type in an item on the list, but not shown, it does pop in autofill. Is there anyway I can prevent only the partial list from showing?

Well the actual screen size limits you from displaying all 120 items in a ComboBox. I am not sure what you mean when you say you want them all to show. They do show if you scroll down or start typing the list scrolls automatically.

Please provide a little more information on your problem.

I'm not sure if this is what you are getting at, but if you set the Auto Expand property of the combo box to False then you won't get partial values. If you turn Auto Expand off, then you have to type the selection in the combo box exactly. If you have Auto Expand set to true, after you type a few letters, it tries to present matches in your combo list. I hope this helps.

I guess I didn't explain the problem well enough. It displays 20 rows at a time (what I set) and I am able to scroll down and see more, but sometimes it doesn't allow me to see all 120 items on the list. It is like I am forced to close the program and open it again (like a refresh) before it works properly. Any ideas? Surely 120 items is not to much for a combo box?
