MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / October 2005Displaying list box on UserForm
How can I display a LisBox on a UserForm that has its boundaries extending outside the boundaries of the UserForm? I am using MS Word 2000. The LisBox is at the bottom of the UserForm. When a user clicks on the ListBox, I want the ListBox to display like a Popup menu with its list of items crossing over the bottom boundary of the UserForm. I don't want to increase the height of the UserFrom. Keep in mind that the Parent property of a UserForm control in VBA is Read-Only. Thanks, Nam > How can I display a LisBox on a UserForm that has its boundaries > extending outside the boundaries of the UserForm?

A ComboBox behaves this way without any additional programming -- if the list is longer than the depth of the UserForm below it, the list just extends past the edge of the UserForm. If you want the ComboBox to prevent the user from typing anything in the edit area that doesn't already exist in the list, set the box's .MatchRequired property to True. Then it will behave just like a ListBox for purposes of selecting from a fixed list, but it will also have the popup behavior.
