I am trying to use TXTWIDTHS() function to determine my ColumnWidths of my Combobox. I get some numbers like 21, 36, 30 for various items in the rows in my drop-down list, but I can't seem to figure out how to or where to or when to put the largest of those value in order to use it to set my combobox column width.
I tried changing my Form to Foxels instead of Pixels, but no help. The weird thing is if I set my ColumnWidths property to a number like 150 foxels when I first click on the combobox it appears that the drop-down list is only as wide as my combobox, but if I select an item from the drop-down list and then click on the combobox, I see a somewhat wider drop-down list, but not wide enough to show my longest item.
What's wrong? I would like to auto set the column width but I can't use Builder because my comboboxes are populated using arrays. The arrays are populating fine, I just can't get the column widths as wide as I need them. I alltrim all of the entries in my arrays so they are preset to be the correct size at Form Init time for my comboboxes.
TIA!
