Try this:
B4X: 
If pi.ItemType = prefdialog.TYPE_SHORTOPTIONS Then
    Dim Parent As B4XView = prefdialog.CustomListView1.GetPanel(i).GetView(1)
    Parent.Left = (Parent.Left + Parent.Width) - 250dip
    Parent.Width = 250dip
    Dim view As B4XView = Parent.GetView( 0)
    view.Width = Parent.Width
End If

Mr. Gupta: I have a thought on this, but since I am not sure of the question, I like to see a small project demonstrating it, unless of course someone else knows what you want and volunteers their answer.

Hi @Mahares I have taken below sample, project attached

[B4X] B4XPreferencesDialog - Cross platform forms

B4XPreferencesDialog makes it easy to create dialogs with all kinds of input fields. The main steps required to use these dialogs are: 1. Define the list of fields. The recommended way to do it is with Forms Builder tool...
www.b4x.com

When selecting "Options" from list with longer text, it shows truncated text as below,


See, "Albuquerque, NM" or "Colorado Springs, CO" shows truncated.
How to increase the text area full width so that they are not truncated ?
