For the life of me, I cannot get a scroll bar in a dropdown list I've created. In Resource layout, I should (note I said should) have an option for overflow - that's according to the documentation on 5.3. However, it doesn't show up for me and I'm trying to do this manually.

Can anyone provide me the verbage as to what I need to include in my dropdown.

Thanks
Ken

Hi Ken,

Firstly what have you got there at present? Perhaps we could use that as a starting point?

Tony,

Here's what I have. It's for a field entitled VENDOR:

~SELECT id=ITEM7 style="Z-INDEX: 21; LEFT: 60px; WIDTH: 320px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 40px; HEIGHT: 22px" name ="VENDOR" elementname="combobox7" elementtype="combobox" labelid caption="combobox" operation="NONE" ibiformat datatype="1" addalloption="0" dynalldisplayvalue="ALL" inchainindex="2" chainnumber="0" cacheruntimedata="0" displayfield="DFLT_REPORTING_GROUP" numofrecords="-1" datafield="DFLT_REPORTING_GROUP" sourcetype="typeFex" datasource="scu0003.fex" datafieldtype="CHAR" IBIC_server IBIAPP_app="cs_scr"~
~/SELECT~

The less than/greater than symbols have been replaced with the tilde (~).

not sure if this is what you want, ken, but
<select size="1" name="D1">
  <option value="FRED">FRED   </option>
  <option value="ETHEL">ETHEL </option>
  <option value="LUCY">LUCY   </option>
  <option value="RICKY">RICKY </option>
  </select>

If you change the size="1" to size="2", you'll see both FRED and ETHEL in your list
If you leave it at 1, you'll just see the arrow to click to see all the other guys.
Your code snippet looks painful. Is that what a GUI generated for you? yikes.

or are you thinking of presenting your list in some sort of iframe w/ scrollbars??

Ken,

Susannah has the right answer for you ...

... but you will have to make another amendment to the HTML generated by the GUI, and that is the Height parameter within the CSS Style code -
<SELECT id=ITEM7 size=10 style="Z-INDEX: 21; LEFT: 60px; WIDTH: 320px;
        POSITION: absolute; TOP: 40px; HEIGHT: 220px" name ="VENDOR"
        elementname="combobox7" elementtype="combobox" labelid
        caption="combobox" operation="NONE" ibiformat datatype="1"
        addalloption="0" dynalldisplayvalue="ALL" inchainindex="2"
        chainnumber="0" cacheruntimedata="0" displayfield="DFLT_REPORTING_GROUP"
        numofrecords="-1" datafield="DFLT_REPORTING_GROUP" sourcetype="typeFex"
        datasource="scu0003.fex" datafieldtype="CHAR" IBIC_server IBIAPP_app="cs_scr">
</SELECT>
You might have to play with the value for height to get it to display properly but working on the normal height of 22px, then 10 rows should require a height of 220px?

Unfortunately, as i do not use the GUI that often, I do not know whether the size and height attributes will be overwritten if you open it up again in the resource layout painter. Keep a back-up and try it!! What's the worst that can happen? (I try not to think about that! Frowner)
