Reporting services + report parameters and custom dropdown length

Question

Hi, I have some report and plenty of parameters inside that report. One of parameter contains values stored inside dropdown list (that are downloaded from db). Is there any way I can set the maximum length of that dropdown control? The problem is that when I expand drop down list I have a horizonal scrollbar because some values inside that dropdown list are too long. How can I customize this parameter and dropdown control so there will be no horizontal scrollbar and values inside it will always be visible?

You can't using SSRS. The only way you could do it, would be to build a custom wrapper on top. By that I mean a little web app that collects your report parameters before calling the reports url & passing them all in on the URL.
