I've searched the api help file and check around, but can't seem to find any reference to adjusting the drop down height of a combo box. I could swear there was an api for that. Saw the one for setting the drop down width, but I thought for sure there was also one for the height. Anybody have that?


Thanks,
-Garrett

Hi Garrett,

I don't know if there is an API for it, but you can also make something like this code to simulate a Combo...

Code:

  DIALOG CREATE,New Dialog,-1,0,265,231
  DIALOG SHOW
 
rem           name |top|left|width|height
%%combobox = combo1|10 |10  |180  |100
gosub Combobox

:Evloop
wait event
%%event = @event()
goto %%event

:Combo1dropdownbutton
gosub Comboboxdropdown
goto evloop

:Combo1click
%%event = @substr(%%event,1,@pred(@pos(CLICK,%%event)))DROPDOWNBUTTON
gosub Comboboxdropdown

rem Do something usefull here...

goto evloop

:Close
exit

:Combobox
parse "%%name;%%top;%%left;%%width;%%height",%%combobox
  DIALOG ADD,EDIT,%%name"EDIT",%%top,%%left,@diff(%%width,26),19
  DIALOG ADD,LIST,%%name,@fadd(%%top,20),%%left,%%width,%%height,CLICK
  DIALOG ADD,BUTTON,%%name"DROPDOWN",%%top,@fadd(%%left,156),24,18,\/
  DIALOG hide,%%name
exit

:Comboboxdropdown
if @equal(%%down,1)
  dialog hide,@substr(%%event,1,@pred(@pos(DROPDOWNBUTTON,%%event)))
  %%down = 0
  else
  if @not(@match(@substr(%%event,1,@pred(@pos(DROPDOWNBUTTON,%%event))),@dlgtext(@substr(%%event,1,@pred(@pos(DROPDOWNBUTTON,%%event)))EDIT)))
    list add,@substr(%%event,1,@pred(@pos(DROPDOWNBUTTON,%%event))),@dlgtext(@substr(%%event,1,@pred(@pos(DROPDOWNBUTTON,%%event)))EDIT)
   end
  dialog show,@substr(%%event,1,@pred(@pos(DROPDOWNBUTTON,%%event)))
  %%down = 1
  end
exit

Garrett, I can't even find a message to do that in
the Windows SDK help... Sad

Cheers, Mac Smile

I must have been thinking of something else then.

Thanks for checking into it for me Mac. Skit, thanks, I'll check out
your suggestion.

"MoveWindow" is an API function, not a message
that can be used with @sendmsg().

I assumed Garrett was looking for a message,
because he was lookin' in the VDS API help file
(or was he?). Confused

LOL, maybe I shoulda asked... Embarassed
