How do you set the width of the Drop-Down Box on the Ribbon?
- Hi,
I'm using Visual Studio 2008 and am designing a Word 2007 add-in. I added a couple of dropdown controls to the ribbon, but I can't figure out how to set the width of the items box. It's too narrow for the items in the drop down window (The maximum width of any item is 8 characters). The two drop down controls are inside a Box. There's plenty of room on the ribbon to widen these.
Please advise.

- I figure it out. In the sizestring property I was using a numeric value to represent the number of characters. Instead, use X's to represent the character width of the box. For example entering the following for the sizestring property sets the width to the length of the string when the ribbon is loaded:
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
This is not intuitive. I hope this helps others that run into this problem.- 已标记为答案Brad Smith, CPA 2008年12月5日 15:32

- What kind of drop-down are you using? I just added a menu with a really long item label inside and the width expanded automatically.

- I just figured out what you were talking about, but you've already got it figured out. I agree it's really bizarre, I'm not sure why they decided to do it that way.
