Solved: Extended 'ControlTiptext' for combobox items

[lifeson]

I have a combo box which fits nicely on my userform but doesnt always show the full description of the item as you go down the list
Is there a way to show the full description of the item highlighted in the controltiptext box?

Seems to work, but you do need to move the mouse to get it



Private Sub ComboBox1_Click()
Dim i As Long
With Me.ComboBox1
.ControlTipText = .Value '.List(i - 1)
End With
End Sub

I was thinking more about showing the value when the mouse highlights an item in the drop down list whilst the dropbutton is clicked

Try the ListWidth property. This controls the width of the dropdown section of the control.

Also you may need to play with the ColumnWidths property is the content of a column is longer than the defaul width.

Cheers for the tip Andy, I didn't realise the column width when dropped could be wider thah the combobox itself
