text wrap in dropdown objects

I don't believe this is possible. You may want to consider using a design-element other than a combo-box for this purpose.

I couuld not fins a way to wrap text in drop down lists in Designer as well, but it would be enough to be able to get the "overflow" pop-up window to show the text in a box versus a continuous line that goes off the right side of the screen. Meaning, once the item that won't text wrap is viewed in the pdf view of Designer by pulling it down in the list, a yellow pop-up appears showing most of the text that can't be seen in the drop down, but if the text is really long, not all of it can be viewed. How do you modify the properties of this pop-up for drop down list overflow text? Urgent, please help.

As with text-wrapping in a combo-box, I don't believe an "overflow indicator" is possible in a combo-box. Quite simply this design element isn't intended to be used for very long text. It's primarily a selection mechanism, not an information-conveyance mechanism.

If you want to display verbose information pertaining to combo-box selections, the better approach is to have each combo-box value cause a separate field to display which delivers the long text.

Could you explain how to get a drop-down list value to cause a separate field to display - I'd like to click on a name in the drop-down list and have the snail mail address display under it.

Virton,
