carlosrapa Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I've googled everything I could and cant find my answer so I am posting, Is there a limit to the amount of items that can go in the ComboBox? I only can get 29 and nothing shows after that. And is there a way to make it a scrolling combobox? Note: I am using Koda to create my gui, if I am approching this the wrong way I apologize. I am new to all of this. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEOSoft Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 What styles did you use for your combo? I can tell you for sure that a combo will hold a lot more than 29 items and it should have the scroll by default unless you messed that up with styles. George Question about decompiling code?

Yeah I did gum up the styles thanks for pointing me in the right direction. It is much appreciated. Any way to shorten how far down the comboBox drops? It seems to go the length of the form. Even though it scrolls; it only scrolls 2 items. $cmbBranch = GUICtrlCreateCombo("Please Select Your Branch", 170, 40, 160, 25, $GUI_SS_DEFAULT_COMBO) GUICtrlSetData(-1, "000 - St. Louis/HQ|002 - East Peoria|003 - Sikeston|004 - Decatur|005 - Columbia|006 - LaSalle|008 - Mt.

Moderators Melba23 Posted February 7, 2012 Moderators Share Posted February 7, 2012 carlosrapa,Yes, edit the first post and select the "Use full editor" option - that opens up the title for editing as well. And please use the "Reply to this topic" button at the top of the thread or the "Reply to this topic" editor at the bottom rather than the "Quote" button - I know what I wrote and it just pads the thread unneccarily.
