DCGET COMBO on Win 7

[BruceN]

the drop down combo box works great on XP, but on win 7 it always covers up part of the vertical scroll bar (see attached sample). Making the box wider doesn't seem to help, it just adds more blank space at the end of the line. Is there a setting to adjust that somwhere to allow the whole scroll bar to display?

Roger, I see this behavior on all my windows 7 dialogs. Everything appears to be shifted a few pixels to the right and cut off. I will get you a few sample of the WinXP vs Win7 look.

I don't see that problem under Win 7. It looks normal to me.

It must have something to do with your Windows settings.

[BruceN]

any idea what setting(s) that would be?

[Cliff Wiernik]

I am using whatever the default settings are. I will get some samples to show you.

Bruce,

Any possibility of changing to DCCOMBOBOX ?

"Border Padding" ist the Name of the "filling" of a Border. default is 4 (Pixel) wide

Code: Select all

// Defines used with the GetSystemMetrics()-API, see
// xbpGetSystemMetrics()

#define SM_CXDLGFRAME            7
#define SM_CYDLGFRAME            8
#define SM_CXPADDEDBORDER       92

LOCAL nWidthBorder   := xbpGetSystemMetrics( SM_CXDLGFRAME )
LOCAL nHeightBorder  := xbpGetSystemMetrics( SM_CYDLGFRAME )
LOCAL nBorderPadding := 0

  IF OnOSVersion() > 5                          // Vista-Win7 DVW Aero
      nBorderPadding := xbpGetSystemMetrics(SM_CXPADDEDBORDER)
  ENDIF

There should be no border at all on a DCGET .. COMBO.

Do you get the same result when running the GET Combo sample in XDEMO.EXE - Sample Group 2 ?

Hi Cliff,

I solved this problem with the following:

Code: Select all

DCGETOPTIONS ;
   FITPAD 25
DC_GetOptDefault(GetOptions)

I don't check on the Windows version. With the above value it is always correct.

Hi Roger,

i have the same problem.

Sample Group 2 you use the POPUP clause an biuild your own screen.

See Array edit in Group 2 (Xsample_49) or group 6 Scoped Drop down.

Hi Chris,

this does not work here.
