Combo Box Values on Win9x

[sykes]

I tried the following code on a Windows 98 machine and the combo boxes had no values showing ... Am I missing something obvious here?

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("Software Install", 397, 150, -1, -1)

GUICtrlCreateLabel("       Software Install 1", 5, 5, 125, 20)
$combo1 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 5, 25, 125, 30)
GUICtrlSetData($combo1,"Package 1|Package 2|Package 3")

GUICtrlCreateLabel("  Software Install 2", 150, 5, 125, 20)
$combo2 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 136, 25, 125, 30)
GUICtrlSetData($combo2,"Package 4|Package 5|Package 6")

GUICtrlCreateLabel(" Software Install 3", 280, 5, 125, 20)
$combo3 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 267, 25, 125, 30)
GUICtrlSetData($combo3,"Package 7|Package 8|Package 9")

GuiSetState ()

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
Wend

The drop down values show on Windows 2000 and XP but not on Windows 98

IIRC, you have to set the height of a combobox larger to allow it to show all the items. Try 80 instead of 30 for height.

OK That fixed the issue with Windows 98 .... Still don't know why it worked fine on XP and 2000 though

Thanks this-is-me

Win2000 works as Win98, WinXp ignores the value and show all items anyway.
