ComboBox display problem on Windows 98
-
Hello guys, I am encountering a problem with serveral ComboBox objects created directly from the resouce editior of my dialog-based program. The style is drop-down with a pre-entered set of data. The comboboxes in Windows XP would appear fine, clicking the arrow on the side will show a dropdown list displaying all the item strings. But when running the app in Windows 98, the dropdown list only extends to the height which just occupies the first item. I can, however, go through previous/next items by using the up/down arrow keys. Further, if I then enable "Vertical Scrollbar", a vertical scrollbar will now be available on the dropdown list, which I can use to go through the items. In Windows XP, enabling vertical scrollbar does not make any difference. Clicking on the arrow still gives the complete dropdown list. I am not sure why it happens? Does it sound like IDE related issue? I am using .Net 2002 Please help, thanks alot

Thanks for the reply, krithika, I go back to the resource view and indeed there are two different selection boxes, when you click on the combobox conetent location and the drop-down arrows. I have extended the drop-down view box and hopefully it will make a difference. Will report back. Assuming it works, why it doesn't cause a problem when the app is running on Windows XP?

The OS is compensating for the (very common) error of forgetting to set the combo box height properly. --Mike-- Personal stuff:: Ericahist | Homepage Shareware stuff:: 1ClickPicGrabber | RightClick-Encrypt CP stuff:: CP SearchBar v2.0.2 | C++ Forum FAQ Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering? I think so Brain, but if we shaved our heads, we'd look like weasels!
