need help with combo

[is8591]

I was trying to set-up a combo where user can only select from list items but when use $CBS_DROPDOWNLIST I loose the scrolldown bar so user can only pick from visible part of LIST.

User can still use arrow UP and Down to see the other parts of LIST but would be nice to have a scroll bar.

Anyone has any ideas?

Thank you.

This should be mentioned in the helpfile.

Does this mean that it's impossible to have a read-only combo with a scrollable list?

Seems like you have a problem with scrolling, and I'm not talking about the combo.

Set the height of the combobox to be around 100px.

Here is the test code. Is there any mistakes?

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

GuiCreate("Test Read-Only Combo", 200, 200,(@DesktopWidth-200)/2, (@DesktopHeight-200)/2 , $WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW + $WS_VISIBLE + $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS)

$Combo = GuiCtrlCreateCombo("Select Item", 20, 20, 160, 200, $CBS_DROPDOWNLIST )

$s_Combo = ""

For $i = 1 To 20

$s_Combo = $s_combo & "Item" & $i & "|"

Next

GUICtrlSetData($Combo, $s_Combo)

GuiSetState()

While 1

$msg = GuiGetMsg()

Select

Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

  ExitLoop

Case Else

  ;;;

EndSelect

WEnd

$s_Combo = ""
For $i = 1 To 120
$s_Combo = $s_combo & "Item" & $i & "|"

GUICtrlSetData($Combo, $s_Combo)

Thanks a lot - it does the trick. I just did not realized that window styles can be used with GUI controls.

Like an addition...it's more appropriate to use the styles in this way:

BitOr( $CBS_DROPDOWNLIST, $WS_VSCROLL)

instead of

$CBS_DROPDOWNLIST + $WS_VSCROLL
