How to set drop-down arrow property for VB ListBox

Greetings,

As seen in the picture below I have two ListBox examples. The top picture is a VB ListBox, the bottom one is in C#

I've messed around with the VB properties but I can't get that arrow to show. How is this done?

I've also attempted to set the properties via the code:

Me.ListBox1.AllowDrop = True
Me.ListBox1.SelectionMode = SelectionMode.One

Any ideas?
Thanks!

make sure under properties, locked doesn't equal true...

silemone

oops...i was talking about resizing...i see the arrow which you are referring to now...it's not there?

silemone

but make sure Locked = false...for either resizing or for binding and it should return...

>> and it should return

Problem is I never had it. The example I'm looking for is seen in the bottom picture but the top picture of my first post is the VB ListBox

Under properties, there is nothing for resizing. The entire Form is set to one size by virtue that MaximumSize is set to false.

There's nothing for bindings either. The 'Unbound' property is part of the C# ASPX ListBox in the picture.....

Any other ideas?

oh.. you want the scroll triangle or the triangle that lets you format/add items? two different triangles there...

silemone

Those appear to be two different controls...one is a dropdownlist and the other is a listbox...

silemone

dropdownlistbox = combo box in winforms...

I just decided to stick with the double arrows in the ListBox. Thanks
