For a listbox, I would give a width and go with string formatting. In your case, I guess that what I'll do is to limit the width to something acceptable, and show only the tail of the line.
Say, your width is w, then I'll show only the last w-4 chars, preceded by '... ' (ellipsis+space). It might be nice to put a label on top of your listbox and dynamically change it's text attribute to the complete version of your selection in the listbox, broken in lines of appropriate length. Hope this helps, Sorin Schwimmer __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
