They will... but you have to set the number of lines that they will display. Have a look at the 'property' inspector for a combo box... you can set them through the property inspector or through script..:-) > From: blei...@buffalo.edu > Subject: Limits of the Option and ComboBox

Nice, I'm thinking of doing that myself, except I will probably use an option menu rather than a list field - much more familiar user interface using that way (or yours) than the combobox. Pete Molly's Revenge <http://www.mollysrevenge.com> On Thu, Jun 30, 2011 at 5:04 PM, Sla

RE: Combobox

Pete, I gave up on comboboxes for a different reason--they don't have the unicodeText property, being half-buttons, half fields. I ended up emulating a combobox by putting two fields on the card--a one-line text input field, and below it, a list field. The list field is locked and init

Just started using these beasts and not getting very far. The dictionary entry for combobox says "Using the text box at the top of the combo box, the user can specify a state that is not in the menu's list of states. " What text box does that refer to? How do I type a new value

OK, comboboxes appear to be rather complicated and I'm stumped. As a user types into a combobox I use on rawKeyUp keyCode to notice that a new character has been added to the combobox. I then do a database search to see all the data that matches the characters currently in the combobo
