 Posted: Fri Apr 23, 2010 5:56 pm Post subject: combo box problem |
 |
|
I got a little problem with combo boxes. Even if there are selections in the combo box, the only thing that appears when I click the arrow is this little line/box whatever.
I am able to select with keyboard up/down keys.
Why does this happen?

| lol. don't know why that happens. it happened to me too when i used combo boxes. i was using resources at the time and solved that problem by making the height of that control include the bit it extends down to.

| I thought about the height too, but how do you include the bit you say?

| if you're doing it in resources, manually set the height to a bigger number. if you're doing it with createwindow/ex, just set the y to be bigger

the height affects the drop down menu, not the height of the actual control.
so if you try and set the height to perfectly match the size of the control or something, you'll get that result

sorry, but there's no option for the height of the combo box.
See this:
EDIT: maybe a resize function would help?

| Code: |
RECT comboRECT;
combo1 = GetDlgItem(skills_tab_hwnd,IDC_COMBO1);
GetClientRect(combo1,&comboRECT);
SetWindowPos(combo1,HWND_TOP,comboRECT.left,comboRECT.right,150,150,SWP_SHOWWINDOW);

instead of doing it in the code, you can set the initial size values in the code of the .rc file. view the .rc file as text and edit the respective values there
