Title: [Solved] TComboBox DropDown Width?
Post by: Avishai on July 10, 2012, 11:33:25 am
Is there a way to make the DropDown of a TComblox wider than TComboBox? I see it in other apps but I have not found a way with Lazarus TCombox.

This (http://delphi.about.com/b/2012/07/03/sizing-tcombobox-drop-down-list-width-no-cut-off.htm) is for Delphi and Windows. Maybe it works for Lazarus as well.

Thanks wp. It took a bit to find all the units to add to the Uses, but it worked perfectly. I think it is Windows Only, but that is OK for me.
I wrote a TFontComboBox but some Font Names are very long. I didn't want to make the ComboBox so wide and it looked bad. Now it is fine.
If anyone wants the TFontComboBox, let me know and I will share.

If you use 0.9.31 and install package cody: There is an "identifier/unit dictionary". It finds the unit for any identifier.

Thanks Martin_fr, I will have to see if I can find it. It sounds like a real time saver :)

Any idea how to increase size under *nix? Unfortunately, CB_SETDROPPEDWIDTH does not exists but native Gtk2 procedures, I guess it's themed stuff, work well.

Since it took me quite a long time to find the solution, here is what works for me (Sadly, only in Windows):
