ListBox ActiveCell

[RBNUBE]

A minor annoyance, but it looks pretty shabby to have the text pop to the
top when a cell goes into edit mode.

Is there a way to set the distance between the top of the ActiveCell to the
top of the text inside?

Thanks for any input!

I don't see that in Rb2006 on XP or OSX or 5.5.5 on OSX.

Best,

It will happen if the DefaultRowHeight is set to something other than
-1. The text will center vertically in the cell until it is made
editable.

It almost looks like a precursor to multi-line cells and acts similar
to a StaticText if it is made multiline in code.

Yes, I see it now. A single-line editfield shows that tendency as
well when its height to textheight ratio is high.

Yes...that is it. I never use the default row height because it's too
tight.

I assume there is no workaround for this?

Not if you want the cell editable. You must remember that Rb tuns the
cell into a single line EditField and all the built-in positioning,
keypresses and other things then apply to the cell.

That what I suspected. Thanks!
