Grigor, that works. I can now view all the ports just fine, and the
combobox resizes to the longest name as it should.

This challenge is also true of the gig file selection popup box..
When adding a new gig to a channel, from an HD, and that gig file has
long names within, the combobox doesn't resize to the longest name
either. (Some of my sample lib gig files have multiple articulations
within.)

I appreciate what you've done with this, it's going to make building
templates considerably less time consuming.

Alex.
