This should only depend on the row height.
I was hoping that you might say something like this.
Thank you.

If I add the flag ListEx::#Editable to the column, then the combo box is transformed to text box, I do not see the down arrow on the right.

#Editable or #Strings use the StringGadget to edit the contents of the cell.
Code: Select all
ListEx::AddColumn(#List, ListEx::#LastItem, "Combo", 78, "combo", ListEx::#ComboBoxes)
Please take a look at the example code, there you can see what which command does.

So, how can I make combo box editable? I checked your example but didn't find the answer I need.
By saying "Editable" I mean to have "male" and "female" (in your example) but also the user to be able to write their own words.

- Click in the field with the selected item to the left of the selection button.
- Use the Delete or Backspace key to delete the content.
- Enter a new word with the letter keys.
PS: Always use the latest version of ListEx before posting, otherwise I can't reproduce problems.

You are publishing new version almost every day. I was using a version downloaded two days ago. This version is already outdated. It's amazing! Thank you very much!!

As soon as I hear about a bug, I try to fix it as soon as possible. (e.g. I noticed today that the ComboBoxes sometimes ignore the changed entry.)

Is this similar to the problem I posted regarding the inability of choosing drop-down entries in the ComboBox(es)?

I was going to ask if that was possible; that is why I logged on.
Thank you very much.

@
Thorsten1867,
Sorry to have to ask, but I am unable to discover how to invoke the multi-line text option.
Could you please explain?

If the text contains a #LF$, it will be output multiline if the line height allows it.
With AddItem() you can use the character '|' instead of #LF$.
Code: Select all
ListEx::AddColumn(#List, 1, "Text", 275, "text")
ListEx::SetRowsHeight(#List, 40)
ListEx::AddItem(#List, ListEx::#LastItem, "Row 1|Row 2")

@Thorsten1867,
Thank you, very much.
Works fine, now.
Would you be able to add those comments in your example code?
