Consider this single select dropdown listbox
labeled "Width (in feet)" which contains 25 items:
11
12
...
34
35
These items are loaded from a database table.
So they may be 25 or more or less.
The visible height of the dropdown listbox
can be upto 5 lines but not more.
To select a value the user has to:
1. Click on the drop-down button on the listbox.
2. Scroll down to the required value.
3. Select the value.
I have 9 more dropdown listboxes like this
in the same web page form.
As you can see, working with these 10 dropdown
listboxes can be cumbersome. The users are complaining.
Questions:
Is it possible to display a dropdown listbox
in a horizontal manner? So it looks like:
11 12 ... 34 35
This could display the values in one row and
make the selection a 1-click effort instead of 3.
So with 10 such listboxes we reduce the
clicks from 30 to 10.
If this is not possible, can this be changed
from Listbox to Radio Buttons?
The number of Radio Buttons is not known in
advance because that depends on the number
of rows in the database table.
Is there a better way to do this without
(or with) Listboxes/Radio Buttons?

Hello,
As I know it is not possible to display listbox horizontally. However RadioButton is good solution. Moreover RadioButton is very much similar to ListBox control is CCS. In fact all the settings are the same

Ok, I suspected that - so I mentioned it in my initial post.
But I do not understand how an unknown number of rows
from a table can be represented as one set of single-select
RadioButtons?
Can you please explain that?
