CB_SETMINVISIBLE message

An application sends a CB_SETMINVISIBLE message to set the minimum number of visible items in the drop-down list of a combo box.

Parameters

wParam

Specifies the minimum number of visible items.

lParam

This parameter is not used; it must be zero.

Return value

If the message is successful, the return value is TRUE. Otherwise the return value is FALSE.

Remarks

When the number of items in the drop-down list is greater than the minimum, the combo box uses a scroll bar. By default, 30 is the minimum number of visible items.

This message is ignored if the combo box control has style CBS_NOINTEGRALHEIGHT.

To use CB_SETMINVISIBLE, the application must specify comctl32.dll version 6 in the manifest. For more information, see Enabling Visual Styles.
