Hello Paul,

thanks for your efforts.

>Is there also a horizontal scrollbar?

Yes, I have a horizonalt scrollbar, and setting the with solved that problem, but I had to move the TIB_LookupCombo to the very left and now my app doesn't look as nice any more.

Is there a way to have only one Field shown in the dropdown list (even if the related query has a "select *") ? That would solve my problem too.

Regards
Rainer

I've just played around a bit with this, and everything works as it
should, even if I prune the lookup dataset down to 1 record.

But especially what Florian said about there being 1 item to few set
me on a track. Is there also a horizontal scrollbar? I had this
problem half a year ago: the drop down list was too narrow for the
data, so a horizontal scrollbar was automatically added. This reduces
the vertical space by roughly 1 item.

Of course the control "should" then just grow vertically so the
correct number of items is displayed, but it doesn't.

If this is your case, the immediate solution is to set DropDownWidth
as wide as necessary.

OTOH, the control doesn't work as it should in this respect, so maybe
Jason should look into this after all.
