hello,

Try adding combobox from basic controls instead of advanced controls and apply CSS to the entire form.

Thanks,

Sandip

I've added a document explaining the question more in detail.

I agree with Sandip as setting the css is the easiest way around this.  Below is one possible solution.

1. Create a css file and add a rule that searches for any select tag with the "ApInptSelect" class and has a parent tag td.  I set the width to 50px but change it to suit your needs.


td select.ApInptSelect {
    width: 50px;
}

2. Import the css to the project.  This can be done from the Forms Editor and doing the following menu action.

  • Tools > Style Sheet Links... > Click "New" button in the dialog that opens
  • This will open a File dialog and select the new css file.

3. Deploy the application
