I am displaying items using comboviewer with ReadOnly style
I want to display items to a length of full viewable page so the user
doesn't have to scroll down after e.g 5 items or so meaning he is able to
view 50 items instead of having scroll bars after just 5 items.

How do I do that?

perhaps combo.setVisibleItemCount(count) is what you're looking for

Thank you jeremy - it does work. There is one more followup to above
question.
I want to limit the combo box display area to the size of the window.
How do I go about doing that?

Thanks for all your help,

Dhiresh

off hand I think you can do the following:

int height = the height you want the list to be (eg. the distance from
the bottom of the combo to the bottom of the window)
combo.setVisibleItemCount(height / combo.getItemHeight());

cheers!
