Width of Combo Dropdown Box [message #467440]

Hi!

I use a SWT Combo with the style DROP_DOWN. The problem is that the text inside the drop down menu is wider than the combo can display when the drop down menu is closed.
What I want is that the menu expands it width to include the widest item in the menu list.

Here some ascii art of it. This is the closed state:

+--------------+
! Some Text   V!
+--------------+

Lets say there is am item in the menu which name is
"Some wider text here"

Standard behaviour in open state is :

+--------------+
! Some text   V!
+--------------+
| Some wider te|
| more items   |
+--------------+

What I want is this:

+--------------+
! Some text   V!
+--------------+-------+
| Some wider text here |
| more items           |
+----------------------+

Any way how I cant achieve this?
