How to Wrap Text or Wider the Drop Down Box? (ASP.NET Web Control)

Hi There!

I have a Server-side Drop-down box in ASP.NET (VB) page. What do I do to
widen the Drop down box's Pull-Down list's width?

I'm not talking about the Drop-down box's width but the box that appear when
user clicks the drop-down arrow button. Because items in the Drop down list
are a little long, user can't see the full thing when they pull down the
items from the drop down list.

Please help!

Thanks in advance!

Don

What code is generated? The box should expand to accommodate the widest
entry.

Unfortunately, it doesn't. I'm not talking about the Drop-down box's
width but the box that appear when
user clicks the drop-down arrow button. Because items in the Drop down list
are a little long, user can't see the full thing when they pull down the
items from the drop down list.

E.g., The Dropdown List Width is 100px, but the contents width is 200px. I
want the contents to shown in full when user click the Drop down box button.

It is easier to do it in Windows Forms' ComboBox, which have DropdownWidth
property. Is there an equivalent property in Web Control Dropdown box?

Thanks,
Don

If you set teh width of a select list, then the drop down will be only as wide as the select list itself. Best to not set any width and it'll expand to the size of the content, or set it wider than any expected values.
