ValueList Display width in WebClient...

Classic Servoy
1

I have a valuelist for a fairly small typeahead field that is long enough to need a scroll bar. In Smart Client this is no problem as the valuelist still shows completely despite the scroll bar. However in Web Client the scroll bar obscures the values partially. I’ve tried making the field bigger, changing from text to typeahead, but those things don’t seem to work. I really prefer a typeahead valuelist to a combobox. Is there a fix for this that I’m overlooking for webclient? Not too familiar yet with the webclient idiosyncrasies… See below for examples:

So no one knows whether the width can be set to the size of the field in web-client for a type-ahead valuelist? I’m very late to using web-client and if it can’t be changed I’ll go to a Combo box I guess. Much prefer type-ahead though so hoping to find out whether it can be fixed and follow the size of the field like it does in Smart Client.

The type-ahead selection popup width tries to adjust based on content in WC. (on SC as well, but with minimum width = field width)
In a fast test (Servoy 6.0.3) I see that in Opera 11.52 and IE 9 it calculates desired width correctly when having a scrollbar while in Safari 5.1.1 and FF 8.0 the scrollbar results in incorrect width.

Please add a case to JIRA here.

In Servoy 6.1 Web Client, the minimum width of list will be field width (like it is now in Smart Client).

Wow. So this is a big deal? I presumed it would be in 6.0.4. That’s disappointing. Must be complicated.

That was just a comment about related issue, the fix version for your case is 6.0.x .
