Combo box

[parthipan]

Hi in combo box in run time if i click the combo box text area it is not listing the Combo list.i need to click the small box(near to combo testbox) to see the combo list.it is any possiblity to show the list if i click the ComboBox text area it self.

If you allow undefined strings the user must be able to write in the combo box (i.e. place the cursor in it), so displaying the list when clicking the text field wouldn't be very nice. If you don't allow undefined strings then I would suggest using an enum or a ring control.

My requirement is like this.I saw in many web application if we click the combo box the list will appear.it cannot be done in labview Combo box.

Why don't you use an enum, as suggested ?

In my application i have used the Combo box "Value change" for a event.In combo box if i click the same value once again in the list also the event will occur.but it wont happen in ring or enum that why

Maybe this will work for you.

1) Right-click comb box and choose advanced customize.

2) Swithc to edit mode (looks like tweezers).

3) Re-size the selector arrow to overlap the area where the string is dispalyed.

4) Use paint brush to color arrow tranparent.

5) Use the modified combo-box in your VI.

Note:

A) if you still want to make it look like the arrow is still there you can add a decoration under the transparent selector button.

I hope that helps,

Ben
