I want to fill the space of the box only with one element from the list I tried making the font bigger but it doesn't work bold type works instead
string(Function_Categorical_Struct("TypeEquity"))
sst=string(Function_Categorical_Struct("TypeEquity"));
app.ChoiseEquityListBox.Items=sst;
app.ChoiseEquityListBox.Value=sst(1);
app.ChoiseEquityListBox.FontWeight='bold';

Are you trying to create a list that only has a single element? Such as
app.ChoiseEquityListBox.Items = {'Filtered'};
app.ChoiseEquityListBox.Value = app.ChoiseEquityListBox.Value{1};
Or do you have a listbox with multiple elements but you want to arrange that when the listbox is displayed normally, that only the current value is visibile?
If you want only one element to be visible ... then use a drop box instead of a listbox.
But if there is specific reason to make it a uilistbox, then set the last component if its Position property to roughly 20.

thank you but
In documentation i read:
i see "Position Location and size of list box
[100 100 100 74] (default) | [left bottom width height]"
what do you mean with :
you write:"But if there is specific reason to make it a uilistbox, then set the last component if its Position property to roughly 20."

The last component is height. I am suggesting that if you use default font size that a height of 20 looks good to frame a single line of choice.
