Increasing the width will allow you to read more of what you put on one
line. You cannot have a second line in a combobox display window where the
user makes input or the selection is shown. I do not know what you are
trying to do, but perhaps you should think about using a textbox or a label
to do it, if you must have a second line. You can always use code to write
messages for user interface. There is always an alternative method to
accomplish the end product.

Not trying to be a wiseguy here just trying to understand.

So if I can increase the width but only one line can show at a time will
it
just make that one line wider? Or, by increasing the width I can fit a
second
line in?

Hi Rick, I will paraphrase you.

Trying to put more than one line in a combobox display window will not
work.

You can increase the width.

I may not have been clear in the way I stated my post... I wasn't asking
you to confirm if that is what happened, I was telling you that the
ComboBox cannot show multiple lines of text the way I think you want it
to... to the best of my knowledge, the control simply doesn't work that
way.

That's correct. I can't put in text then do an alt+enter. It just
beeps
at
me. And if I type enough text to go past the width of the combobox it
just
keeps goes out of sight.

If I understand your question correctly... the edit field of the
ComboBox
does not support multiple lines of text.

Hello
I'm using an Active-x combobox with about 8 selection
possibilities. I
need
to make it in a thin column so I'm trying to use two lines when a
selection
is made. Unfortunately it's coming up with the carriage return
character
in
the selection. I guess that's what it is a backwards P sort of
thing.

Looking through the properties for the control I didn't see any
reference
toward word wrap or multiline. In the text field of the properties
it
has
little rectangle boxes that I can't delete.

Any way to make this ugly backwards P go away?
I tried a few things such as...

sub combobox1_Click()
char(10)
End Sub
