Checklistbox formating

[donnacha]

Hi folks,
I am trying to use a checklist box where I fill the data from a database table. The text is too long to fit in one line and I can not make the control any wider.

Does anybody know how to allow multi-line text to be associated with each checkbox item.

you could enable horizontal scrollbars ...

how long is the text? just because you cant see it all it could be there still.
i just added a line of text 182 chars long to 1 , like this :

   Private Sub CheckedListBox1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles CheckedListBox1.MouseDown
        MsgBox(CheckedListBox1.SelectedItem & Chr(10) & "length is :" & Len(CheckedListBox1.SelectedItem)) /// check if the string is complete.
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim str As String
        str = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
        str = str + str + str + str + str + str + str
        MsgBox(str.Length)
        CheckedListBox1.Items.Add(str)/// add the string to the checkedlistbox
    End Sub

Thanks, but getting the text into the checklist is not the problem, taht is done directly throught the datasourse field. I know the full thext is there but the user needs to be able to see the full text string. Thus I need something like a line/text wrap functionality to allow the whole string to be visible.

Any Ideas..
