How can I force a ListBox to fill entire free area ?

Question

I put a ListBox into a tabele cell an want it to ocupy the whole cell (width="100% height="100%") and show as many rows as possible but:

• not specifyng setVisibleItemCount causes to show a big dropdownbox (i want a list)
• specifying setVisibleCout makes listbox to ignore height (it takes as much place as it needet to exacly display n rows)

i there a workaround ? (in Swing a number of wisible rows ia a funcion of height and I'd like it this way in gwt).

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

ListBox is a native GWT component, and that's the way it works. If you're using GWT 2.1 you can create your own CellRenderer

Answer 2

You could approximate a solution by calculating how many items should be shown based on the height you want.
