always big enough to hold the choices.I know that's not what you were looking for, but it may be worth
considering.
Unfortunately, this is not possible, as the user can effectively
add new choices (ie. the choices change dynamically as the
user uses the GUI), and the user can enter strings that don't
fit in the resulting drop-downs. I really don't want to impose
a hard limit on the names used to describe the items in the
combobox' list, and so although I've made the combos as big
as I can with the screen real estate available, this doesn't
really deal with the problem.
Any other suggestions?
(Ideally, I'd like a way to have a popup box containing the
entire text to show up over the choice as you mouse over it...
Anyone got such a goody handy?)
