Problem with width and height.

[Rosen]

Hi guys. I can not find a way for the width and height of the control to be automatically determied, so no scrollbars are present. Could somebody help me with this?

Hi Rosen,

Unfortunately RadComboBox does not support this capability in a cross-browser way. By default if you don't set the Width property of RadComboBox the item text will wrap (instead of creating scrollbars). You can use the DropDownWidth property to control the width of the items.

Thank you Albert. What are the non cross-browser options?

Hi Rosen,

There are a few CSS overrides which will work in non-IE browsers. In IE items which have shorter text keep their size. Anyway here is the required CSS:
    <style type="text/css">
    .rcbList
    {
        white-space:nowrap;
    }
   
    .rcbList li
    {
        border: 1px solid red;
        position: relative;
        display:inline-block;
    }
   
    .RadComboBoxDropDown,
    .rcbScroll
    {
        overflow: visible !important;
        width: auto !important;
    }
    </style>
