Checklistbox formating

[donnacha]

Hi folks,

I am trying to use a checklist box where I fill the data from a database table. The text is too long to fit in one line and I can not make the control any wider.

 

Does anybody know how to allow multi-line text to be associated with each checkbox item.

 

:confused:

you could enable horizontal scrollbars ...

how long is the text? just because you cant see it all it could be there still.

i just added a line of text 182 chars long to 1 , like this :

  Private Sub CheckedListBox1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles CheckedListBox1.MouseDown
       MsgBox(CheckedListBox1.SelectedItem & Chr(10) & "length is :" & Len(CheckedListBox1.SelectedItem)) '/// check if the string is complete.
   End Sub

   Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
       Dim str As String
       str = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
       str = str + str + str + str + str + str + str
       MsgBox(str.Length)
       CheckedListBox1.Items.Add(str)'/// add the string to the checkedlistbox
   End Sub

Thanks, but getting the text into the checklist is not the problem, taht is done directly throught the datasourse field. I know the full thext is there but the user needs to be able to see the full text string. Thus I need something like a line/text wrap functionality to allow the whole string to be visible.

 

Any Ideas..
