I have a combo box which I'm using as an edit drop down box.  I have more then six items in the list.  I made enough room for 4 items.  I would expect the veritical scroll bar to show up on the right allowing the user to access the other items.  This seems really trivial, but I can't figure it out.

Thanks in advance.

It's a bug in Microsoft's Windows Installer engine: ComboBoxes never have scroll bars. You can use a listbox instead.

Thanks I thought something like that, so I went and upgraded from v2.00 to v2.03 InstallShield for Windows Installer thinking that would fix it.  I ran though the list of bug fixes and didn't see anything about the combo box.

Alas v2.03 didn't fix the problem.

It isn't actually an Installshield problem, so the upgrade wasn't going to help.  The problem is with Microsoft's Installer service.

If we want this fixed, then we have to bug Microsoft.
