[perl-win32-gui-users] Comboboxes

[kinch <ki...@ne...>]

Hello again,

I have a combobox sitting at the area at the bottom of the screen (in my 
app).  I've added 4 items to it, and I can scroll through them fine when 
using the keyboard.  However, if I use the mouse, the 'dropdown' part is 
about 1 pixel high, and I can't see the items.

Here is my creation code:

->AddCombobox(-name=>"test",-pos=>[780,$win->ScaleHeight()-42],-size=>[30,20],
-dropdownlist=>1);

The $win window is the main window, but it's generally drawn maximised, so 
it seems I'll always have this problem.

First off, is there any way to force the drop down list to open upwards? 
(Something tells me I'm hoping for the impossible with that one.)  If that 
isn't possible, is there any way to have an input box that restricts users 
to certain inputs?  I was ideally hoping for one of those little things with 
the up/down arrows (like with the DateTime GUI object) but nothing I've seen 
so far indicates this is possible.

Can anyone offer some guidance?

Thank you in advance.
