I have a ComboBoxEx with a couple of items, which are longer then ComboBoxEx.Width. When I "open" the ComboBoxEx by clicking on the DropDown-Arrow, the list of all items is displayed, but it's width is too small to see the items completely.
It would be "nice to have" to increase the width of the opened Itemlist, but without having to increase ComboBoxEx.Width (because I have a couple of controls in 1 horizontal line and don't want to consume permanently more width).
I found property ComboBoxEx.ItemWidth and the documentation says "The minimum width of the items in the drop-down list". It's default is 0 and I played with it, but it does not change the width of the opened Itemlist.
On Windows it works to increase the width of the opened Itemlist by ComboBoxEx.ItemWidth, but not on Linux.
My question:
Is this one more bug in ComboBoxEx on Linux or must I only go another (easy) way to "enable" this feature on Linux?
Please notice, that this is only a "nice to have" for me:
- if this feature is implemented and works and I can "enable" it in a couple of minutes, I would like to use it.
- what I definitely not want is, e.g. to draw the Itemlist by my own (or something with similar effort), because I'm still a beginner to the LCL and would need many hours or days until it works and (at this moment) I don't want to invest this time (have enough other problems of higher prio).
Thanks in advance for your help.
