Humm. Yes, I see. I think I have heard of this before, but
it doesn't act this way in the Windows version I am using (6.03).
Hard to say if it is an IDL version problem or a Windows/X Windows
problem. I wonder if you could pass null string values to
the combobox when you initialize it so that it gets set to some
reasonable size initially? As you added items, you could delete
blank items. Ugly, though, even if it worked. :-(
Cheers,
David

I define the combobox as such:
dataSets = [info.fileList(0)]
droplist2 = WIDGET_COMBOBOX(controlPanel, Value = dataSets, $
UVALUE='select', /DYNAMIC_RESIZE)
I added the /DYNAMIC_RESIZE keyword in an attempt to fix this issues but
it made no difference to the dropdown part.
Initially the combobox always contains just one element, and then more are
added as the user loads files using the line:
Widget_Control, state.dlist, COMBOBOX_ADDITEM=filename
But when you add another item the dropdown list still only displays one
option at a time with really tiny scrollbars on the side. Thanks for your
time.

That sounds weird. Let's see how you are defining it. :-)
