ComboBox

[LOULOU]

With Windows 2000 the following statement cause trouble

$Edit_15 = GUICtrlCreateCombo($carte[0], 140, 217, 100, 20)

For seeing all items in combobox with Win 2000 you are obliged to programm

$Edit_15 = GUICtrlCreateCombo($carte[0], 140, 217, 100, 80)

As stated in the doc the behavior is different between XP/2000 so it is normal you have to increase the height to have both working. XP does use the height it do what it want.

Just had this issue today, You can also leave the height field blank, Win2000 then looks same as WinXP.

I am unable to leave this blank as in the line:

$combo4id = GUICtrlCreateCombo ( "" , 108, 122, 165, ,$CBS_SORT+$CBS_DROPDOWNLIST )

Nor does it work in XP if I use the following lines:

$combo1id = GUICtrlCreateCombo ( "" , 108,  32, 165 )
GUICtrlSetStyle ( $combo1id, $CBS_SORT+$CBS_DROPDOWNLIST )

In code snippet 1, I receive an error when the script executes, and in snippet 2, the drop down list is there but the selected value does not appear in the box. A default value of 100 works OK for most of the combo boxes, but I have one combo box with several entries (20 or so) that this may be problematic with.

use a -1 for it to use defaults

$combo4id = GUICtrlCreateCombo ( "" , 108, 122, 165,-1 ,$CBS_SORT+$CBS_DROPDOWNLIST )

Thank you very much, I hadn't had the opportunity to try that as a fix, but I had come to the conclusion that -1 might be the right answer.
