New D.I.C Head Joined: 16 Jun, 2009 Posts: 5	I made a program that passes records from database and displayed then in listbox. The reason that i want to now tha capacity of the listbox is because my program will run in deferent monitors and each operator will be able to change the listbox fontsize. I want to show them the records like pages e.g If my database have 25 records and my listbox capacity is 10 records the time, i want to show them the first 10 records for 1 minute then the second 10 records for 1 minute, then the last 5 records for 1 minute and then to start over from the begining *Is the listbox the correct object? and how can i find capacity for an object? Thank you for your time and for your help.

On the program settings in there where users adjust the size of fonts and the speed that changing the text on the screen I put a setting for users to put how many rows of text there screen fit, depending on the fontsize. I now that this isn't the write way, but for now it works. Thanks for help anyway.
