TextRing hides last entry

[Peter_Prinzen]

Hi there,

I've a "refresh" problem with a (LV7)-Textring. I used to fill their Items-Property in my prog. But as soon as I come close to let me say 8 entries, the Textring will start to scroll, the last entry will no longer be visible.
I.e. the text-ring has a1,a2,a3,..,a8 as string-values. When I'm starting to display the ring by selecting it, "a2" is active, the last one, "a8" is not visible, (no scrollbar is visible) as long as I'm moving the mouse over the last entry. So when I highlight the last entry, it will then visible.

Is there a workaround, something like "force scrollbar"?

Thx for suggestions

Peter

BTW: this does not happen in LV6.1

I have tried to duplicate your problem but I am confused. A text ring doesn't have a property called items, it has strings[] which doesn't present the issue you describe.

Could you post the code that you are using?

Hi Mike,

yes, I want to say "strings[]". I've attached the sample code, once there are about 8 strings in the ring, and you will start from top opening the list, the last one will disappear; it becomes visible only (and after) you selected them.

I have duplicated the issue, but it doesn't happen until 12 items on my machine. Apparently the appearance of the scrollbar is to some extent a function of font size (or perhaps amount of space on the screen the menu is taking). By making the font smaller I got up to about 25 items before the scrollbar appeared.
