Is there a way to show the drop-down portion of the combo longer than the actual field.
The field does not display the entire entry (and that’s OK) but the selection combo needs to! Is this possible in Servoy?
Hi Kahuna,
I know this is already filed as a feature request by Ellen Messerow. I even think it is implemented.
What version of Servoy are you using ?

I’m running 4.0.1 Robert - but I don’t know how I might implement this drop down length?? Doesn’t seem to be a property for it.
Did you see a thread on it Robert?
Oh sorry, I was thinking combobox WIDTH.
No the length is not controllable as far as I know and might as well be controlled by the LAF (so outside of Servoy).
But perhaps one of the Servoy developers can comment on this.
In any case you always file this as a feature request.

You’re right Robert - my bad terminology - it is the WIDTH of the displayed line under the field that I want to control.

I found this viewtopic.php?f=16&t=10423&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=15#p52558
This talks about 3.5.6 though.
Hi Kahuna,
Do you want this on the list that shows up on a type ahead field or on a simple combobox? In the last case, it’s not (yet) implemented in Servoy (while in the first it is implemented).

Hi Paul - its on a simple combobox that I need to adjust the string display length (or is it width - the part that drops down below the field).
You might have noted that I also need the means to set a multi - line format in a combobox display. That is the area constantly on display should show multi-line, whilst the drop down only needs the regular single line display of course.
Are these on plan for upgrade Paul?
Cheers

Paul I was experimenting with the TypeAhead field and I noticed that when selecting an entry in the extended width drop down, the entry in the field shows with the ‘right’ most portion of the text only. This stays like that even when traversing records - until
a) I actually enter the field and do a ‘home’ to take the cursor to the first character???
b) The record has an entry that fits completely in the display area -
then all the records show the left most portion of the entry?
Also I need the entries to be non-editable - and on the TypeAhead elements then that’s not possible (wont drop down then of course).
Did I do something wrong or am I missing some property here?
a typeahead will work if your return and display types are not the same
for example if you build your typeahead on an integer and in the valuelist you have “long long long text” that is bind to an integer
then a user can only select what is in the list and cant type something that isnt (that isnt accepted)
and the typeahead does grow with it, a combobox is look and feel driven so not in our hands.
