    How to allow user to expand listbox columns?

    Hi,



    How do i allow the user to expand columns in a listbox? One of my columns contains long titles so not everything is displayed in the column.

    You could add a button to change the WIDTH property of the ListBox with a little code. Just set the onClick event to something like:

    MyListBox.width = 2000

    And then maybe make another button to set it back:

    MyListBox.width = 500

    You'll have to play with the values, of course. Just put all of the fields you want to see in there and have fun.

    hmm but this is too....limiting. I would like the option for users to just expand any columns as they wish.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
