You're thinking of the ColumnCount property. (There is no RecordCount property for combos.) The problem is, -1 to show all columns applies to grids, not combos and lists. The help says, "The default is –1, which specifies that the Grid control should contain enough columns to accommodate all the fields in the grid's record source." Which implies it's for grids without specifically saying so.
