    CComboBox scrolling

    I have my basic Combo box and I've added a few strings to it (say 5).. When I click the scroll bar, the drop down menu only displays one item at a time (instead of 3-4 like usual Windows)..

    So if I have strings 1,2,3,4,5.. Only one line is displayed at a time in a drop down list.. How do I fix that?

    Set the height? I don't program Windows, so I don't know. Look up the function/class on MSDN.

    Wow this (or I am) kind of retarded.. You have to click on the scroll 'down arrow' to resize it in Visual C++.. I kept clicking the entire Combo Box.. and could only resize it horizontally.. Thanks!?
