Re: Combobox

Thanks Ken. I guess since I don;t work on Windows very often, I wasn't aware of that. The custom option menu you mentioned sounds like what I've just put together this afternoon, except I put a little plus sign at the corner of the option menu that trigger adding a new value. WHo knows, maybe it

Re: Combobox

Another quirk I just discovered with comboboxes. Setting the menuHistory of a combobox displays the correct choice, but subsequent clicks on the arrow to display the choices do not position the list of choices at the displayed value, as it does with an option menu. In fairness, the dictionary doe

Re: Combobox

OK, thanks for pointing me in the right direction, I have everything working now. There doesn't appear to be very much documentation on this, so in case it helps other combobox neophytes, here's a summary of what I found. The menuPick message can be processed just like any other menuPick message.

Re: combobox
