Hi all,
I use several ComboBoxes and some of these contain 50 or more characters.If the ComboBox is not wide enough, the string will be cut off and I have no opportunity to see the complete string while selecting.It is possible to scroll the string horizontal when it was selected or to show the selected value as tooltip but I couldn't figure out a solution to see the full string during the selection.
Any ideas or someone already found a solution?
@leo41 Unfortunately, there is no 'word-wrap' feature on Comboboxes or Dropdowns. All you can do is try to make the ComboBox wider.

Microsoft always considers the features with the most votes.https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Apps-Ideas/Word-wrap-dropdown-List-values/idi-p/219386I was able to to find one partial solution on the forums. I don't like it, but I thought I'd share it anyways in case you find it valuable.

@leo41
Set the combo box tooltip property to the value shown in the combo box or place a label near it with the Text property as the combo box value.
