Hi
Is there a property to control the direction of the dropdown list of an ultracombo? When I just attach a datasource, it always drops "down". I am implemeting a custom filtering, where I apply the filter on the data using the typed in search string and attach the dataview as datasource. The I performAction on the combo to dropdown. But now, the dropdown list always appear "up"(on the top of the combo). How do I fix this?
Thanks!
Hi,
What version are you using?
The only reason the Combo should ever drop up is when it is too close to the bottom of the screen and there is not enough room for it to drop down. It should not make any difference whether you click the dropdown arrow or call PerformAction.
Yeah..thats right, the drop down is very close to the bottom of the screen..Can I make the scrollbar to appear instead of the dropdown appearing on the top?
Thanks for the reply.
Well you could set the MaxDropDownItems property to something smaller than the default (which I think is 8). That will make the dropdown smaller, so you could experiment and see if you can make it fit on the screen.
But you cannot directly control the direction of the dropdown.
