Can you add a scollbar to a combobox?

I have a combobox that has a lot of options in it. I would like to make the bar scrollable. Is this possible?

    You can turn on the new modern controls under settings > general > Modern controls and themes and that combobox works a little better in terms of using scroll and not so much screen height. Might help. But it could be missing a function or two as they are kind of halfed baked, but give it a try, might be enough to get job done.

    Not with that OOB control to my knowledge. You would have to create your own PCF control to use etc.

    is there a way to make it stay within the container instead of using up the whole screen?

    It does it automatically. If you don't have enough things in the combobox to fill the screen you wont' get a scroll bar.. You can minize your browser to a small size, and you will see the reactive size change and add the scroll bar.

    If the options fill the screen a scrollbar will appear, but it has to run out of available space.

    A custom page in a model-driven app.

    I've never seen this before. This a Model driven app or something? Custom controls?

    It shows like this:

    But I want it to show a couple options and then be scrollable. Right now it's showing all of them.
