The RowSourceType of the ComboBox could use a POPUP. You can set the font of the POPUP larger.

We've found using comboboxes and certain other GUI controls aren't touchscreen friendly at all. We have a generic graphical 'quick selection' box-- the user clicks something, and we show a modal box with the options, and they pick which one they want. If there's more options than can fit on the large buttons(say, 6 of them), the code is smart enough to draw and handle buttons that will scroll the options available. We invoke it something like this: o = createobject("quickselection", "pick your item") o.additem("red", RGB(255, 0, 0) o.additem("green", RGB(0, 255, 0) o.additem("blue", RGB(0, 0, 255) o.additem("cancel", -1) o.show() if -1 == o.evalue then * cancelled else do case case rgb(255,0,0) == o.eValue * Red case rgb(0,255,0) == o.eValue * Green case rgb(0,0,255) == o.eValue * Blue end case endif Something like that-- using a variant for each item lets us avoid any conversions, etc. Not an answer to your question, but possibly a more user-friendly solution for your GUI design if you have the freedom to change it. -- Derek [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
