Hi folks,

I have working on this all day. I finally figured out how to make text wrap in a combobox but now my links aren’t working and I can’t figure out what to do next. I know the problem is in my eventlistener.

The full instructions for how to do this Multiline combobox are available here.

Thanks for the help.
