I have a Form that has a combobox on it.
The combobox is set DropDownList. These drop down items are a descriptive form of an object. This means they can get quite long. The position of the combobox on the screen means when the drop down list is displayed it doesn't all fit on the screen. Some of it is chopped off by the right edge of the screen.
I can't move the combobox.
Is their some way I can move the drop down list part of the control. Perhaps centre it under the control ?
I've attached a screenshot. You can see the form here -
When entering transactions the user fills in the form and clicks Save. A number of the transactions that will be entered for any client though will be recurring transactions. These can be saved to the favourites. The drop down box lists the currently saved favourites and when one is selected the program automatically fills in the transaction fields.
Screenshot 2 showing the whole program and the combobox list running out of space.
I realise from the screenshot I could move the form but I like to keep the forms for entering transactions centered on the screen.
I may have to look at other options for the interface.
Thanks,
A combo box is a text box with a list box attached. This type of control enables users to select a predefined value in a list or type their own value in the text box portion of the control. The list is hidden until the user clicks the arrow next to the box.
Summary: Listboxes and dropdowns are compact UI controls that allow users to select options. Listboxes expose options right away and support multi-selection while dropdowns require a click to see options and support only single-selection.
maybe you should create your own comboBox, as shown here:
