wx.ComboBox() Styles

Is it possible to add a scroll bar (wx.HSCROLL) to the displayed item on a
wx.ComboBox? If not, how can I accommodate viewing the entire string for
entries of variable size?

In the popup list or in the textctrl part? The former is automatic if the native widget for the platform supports it, the latter is not possible.

Either make the width be wide enough for the widest string, or make the users click in the textctrl portion and scroll it with the cursor keys.

Robin,

   In the textctrl part. Since that's not possible, I made the fields wider.

Either make the width be wide enough for the widest string, or make the
users click in the textctrl portion and scroll it with the cursor keys.

   Manual scrolling is a good option.

Thanks,

Rich
