Dear *,
your observation is correct: the size of the boxtext is limited by the size of the selection window. This means you have 2 options:
a) Change the size of the window using the "min-w" parameter and align the text length with the size selected.
b) Provide the helptext in a button that shows the support message e.g. in an INFOBOX.
Please find below an example in AdoScript code that shows both adaptations. Have a look at the loopcondition (WHILE) that enables the Help button to be switched with the actual TLB.
