In response to your first question:
> The first (listbox) displays only so many characters of an entry...
> these list boxes were coded in UIL ...in a separate popup attached db
I assume that the list_box in question is attached both left and right (i.e.
no fixed width) and that you have not supplied the list_box with a default
items list. What you are seeing is a list_box resize problem. The list_box
creates itself with a certain default width (no width supplied.) Then the
ADB comes along and tells the list_box (after creation) to size itself to
a certain width dictated by its attachments. Although the bounding scroll
window of the list_box is sized properly, the list_box work area has NOT been
resized. Thus, the strings appear truncated when they become visible.
The work around is to supply the list_box (in its UIL declaration) with an
items list containing a "wide" string, wide enough to encompass any forseen
entry size in that list_box. After the list_box is fetched, kill the "wide"
contents (or the wide entry.)
Good luck
