Mark, ...and just for completeness, I have substituted the -addstyle option in my own application with the two options below:
-dropdown => 1, -vscroll => 1, Glenn -----Original Message----- From: Glenn W Munroe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 06, 2004 01:03 To: 'Mark Nettlingham' Subject: RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] Listboxes and dropdowns Mark, The '-style' option is deprecated, as it resets any bits that you don't specifically set, sometimes with unexpected results. It is safer to use '-addstyle', which just aggregates the bits you specify. There are new options being added all the time; as of the latest (development) release there are '-dropdown' and '-dropdownlist' options, but having said that I'm not sure how to get them to work with vertical scrollbars either, so I think that either: -addstyle => WS_VSCROLL | CBS_DROPDOWNLIST, or -addstyle => WS_VSCROLL | CBS_DROPDOWN, will do what you want. Glenn -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Nettlingham Sent: Thursday, August 05, 2004 14:06 To: perl-win32-gui-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [perl-win32-gui-users] Listboxes and dropdowns All, Have recently upgraded to the latest version of Win32::GUI, and am getting a warning from the following: $cs = $main->AddCombobox( -name => "cs", -pos => [ 80, $yval ], -tabstop=>1, -width => 170, -height => 130, -style => WS_VISIBLE | 3 | WS_VSCROLL | WS_TABSTOP ); Warning is: Win32::GUI: the -style option is deprecated! at C:/Perl/site/lib/Win32/GUI.pm line 610. Which is fine, but I'm having no luck creating a single-selection dropdown without assigning a style. I should add that I have no idea what the 'style' bit does -- I found that snippet somewhere on the web. It works fine, but I'm guessing it was deprecated for a reason - I just hope it's been replaced with something!
