combo box selection width adjust on select/change

I have a combo box that I need to fit into a small width.

The combo field displays item code (3-5 characters) when not selected, but when it is selected, I want it to show full item name (20 or so characters).

Without any changes, it wraps the item name into small field width which is not nice.

I changed the field width to a local variable and set the OnSelect to update width variable to accommodate wider name text, which it does with a little weirdness - you need to reselect wider combo box to get dropdown of names.

I set the temp variable to shorter width temp variable on OnChange which it didn't work.

I did a Reset to the field in OnChange and then it did return field to shorter width but of course with original field value - not new selection.

Any ideas for me here?

Thanks!

@lknudson1

The chevron size is fixed and adjust with the height of the control. The only way to make the chevron smaller is to reduce the height of the control, but that may affect the visibility of the text.

If you have any questions or feedback, please let me know. Have a great day! 😊

And another question.
Is there a way to size chevron portion of field?
I can hide it by changing background fill, but it still takes up too much space when I want to fit many fields in a row.
Thanks!

I got it working now, but still kind of quirky. Flashing gallery on update, secondary select when wide field shows.
