Thanks, but are images supposed to look dithered/low quality?
Yes, they are. All images are converted to Bitmap to be drawn on the canvas. They are displayed for monitoring purposes only and nothing else.
Another way to present them could be to include them 'as is' in the contents of the ...

I've posted a tip to convert .doc, .docx and .odt documents to HTML and PDF using COMatePLUS and OpenOffice.
You can find it here : http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... 12&t=50137

;
; Convert a Word or OpenOffice writer document to an HTML document or PDF document
;
; This program uses OpenOffice as background application to make the conversion
; so, you need to have OpenOffice installed on your machine to use this.

Excellent!

Go one step beyond offering an "OpenSubMenu" similare to the one used with classical popup menu:
Procedure OpenSubMenu_CBM(iGadgetID,ItemIndex=-1,Text$="_NoText_")
;
If Text$<>"_NoText_"
AddGadgetItem(iGadgetID, ItemIndex,Text$)
EndIf
;
If ItemIndex = -1
ItemIndex ...

Sorry

It's fixed.

zapman*: chr(160) does work visually :) . There is a side-effect that should be noted with any line entries that containing the "close-submenu" cmd character. The character is a part of the entry and may cause difficulty if one is trying to match the selected entry against a list of the entries ...

I'm also using XP without any problem and I think that it does not depend on your system version but on some special configuration of your computer.

Ok, if not any other option is found, we could use a simple space and a double space, but I don't really like that.

Did you test chr(160) as ...

@Demivec:

It seems that the character #9 presents no problem: viewing your screen capture, I see no problem with the line "sauces".

So, I propose to use only this character: a simple chr(9) to open the submenu, a double chr(9) to close it. Please try this in the GUY declaration: AddGadgetItem ...

The code above has been updated.
The eventtypes generated by the new gadget are now exactly the same as for a classical ComboBox, so you can replace one by the other wthout changing anything in the rest of your codes.

The only thing with this though is that the popup menu will be repositioned and/or resized automatically by windows if there are too many items for it to fit on the screen. It will also expand vertically to fill the entire screen (if you add loads of items) instead of adding a scrollbar etc. Try it ...

I've just updated my code using the idea of TomS.

The beauty of this new solution is that the gagdet can now be used
exactly like a classical combobox and manages all PureBasic functions like
addgadgetitem, setgadgetitemtext, etc. ...

I love it. Thank you again TomS

Hi Toms,

Your solution is terrific. Thanks many time for that!.

For my needs, it's just missing 2 things to your very elegant and small code:
- when the user click and the combo and maintain the click on and then release on a popup line, the menu stay open. He has to click a second time to close ...

Thanks a lot for testing :D

I add a DrawingMode(#PB_2DDrawing_Outlined ) to avoid the white background for the text and a modified the screen capture to try to solve the problem you noticed.

Code above has been updated. Please tell me if it's OK now.

I also added some functions ...
