IView Personalize Screen Drop Down Width

Question

Hello,
Any idea on how to control the width of the select/drop down list box when usiing the SAP provided personalization screen in an iView?  When an end user goes to personalize the iView, the select box is too small to see the values. 
My portalapp.xml property looks like this:
<property name="searchType" value="Team Peers">
    <property name="personalization" value="dialog"/>
    <property name="type" value="select[Direct Reports,Team Peers]"/>
    <property name="description" value="PERSONALIZE_SCREEN_SEARCH" />
</property>               
The only way I have seen to control the width is to create a string property and then by setting the value you can set the width of the second column.  My problem is that I don't want the user to have a string input field, they need to select from a drop down.
I am trying to avoid writing my own personalization screen, because this is a very simple iView.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Sean

Hi Sean Coverstone,
I am not sure whether I understood your question clearly.
My Assumption is that you want to control the dropdown list box size in your personalization dialog box.
Create a class called MyPersonalization under com/test/personalization/.
Create your own GUI part here.Use layouts for controlling the width and height.
Enter something like this in your portalapp.xml.
<component-profile> 
   <property name="PersonalizationClass" value="com.test.personalization.MyPersonalization"/>
</component-profile>
Now you can set dropdown list box widh like this..
ivuList.setWidth("200");
Hope it helps.
