Is it possible to make list, or even better bitlists bigger?
I want to use a font size like 42pt or semething and the icon to be as big as 32x32 or something. Is their a way to force it to be bigger?

Doesn't it work if you use a style? Bitlist bitmaps are fixed at 16x16 however.

when i use style, the tex is bigger but the line for the list does not increase so i can only see a small amout of text.

With bitlists, the bitmap size rather than the text size determines the height of each item. So, as the bitmap size is fixed, so is the item height.

I understand that.
But can it be forced larger? Maybe with an external dll or something?

if not how about a dll that has a larger list height?

Take a look at the api articles for download at vdsworld. If I recall correctly there is an api named something like LB_SETITEMHEIGHT which lets you determine the pixel height for items in a listbox.

I think you might want to look at VDSGUI.DLL but CodeScript or the
VDSLISTS.DLL by Tommy.

Yes as FreezingFire said VDSGUI bitlist element can be customized in this way. One can even assign different height to different items. Also since the width of the glyph is unlimited U can make the enter width of an item to be a glyph to give it a fancy font/design.
U can download the demo version form the link below in my sig
