Is it possible to increase the pick list height to display more than 4 items when the user clicks on the ellipses button?

The drop down on the Picklist (unless it is a multiselect) is a <select> element. The default for it is to have a Size of 4.

You could increase that size programatically, probably not on the click of the ellipsis, but on the load of the page.

Hi Josh

THis can be achieved with javascript.

you can add a line to your page code to resize all picklists:

ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this, GetType(), "Resize_Picklists1", "$(document).ready(function() { $('.picklist select').attr('size', 8) });",true);

You could add that line to base.master to affect all lists on all forms, or you can add it to the load events of each form individually to only affect those forms you choose.

Alternatively, view the html source of the page and find the client side name of the items element for your picklist, and then in the load event of your form, you can set a size specifically for that list with this line:

ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this, GetType(), "Resize_Picklists2", "$(document).ready(function() { $('#ctl00_MainContent_OpportunityDetails_Country_Items').attr('size', 20)});", true);

so it is possible to have a different size for each list on any given page/form if you wish. You can see I have named my functions here Resize_Picklists1 and Resize_Picklists2, if you have multiple lists you are controlling on the same form, you need to give each script block a unique name.

Hope thats useful for you

This master file code works when the page first loads but does not work if there is a postback or the screen is saved. 

Ah yes, that's true. Guess you will need to place the code in the onLoad event of each form and in load actions dialog, set the "On Repaint Event" to "True" to be certain it runs every time.
