List Size Problem

[Kobi_K]

Hi guys...

I have some problem with the list control...

As you can see on the attached picture I have a List control with lots of Val's....

When I press on it since I have lots of Val's the list opens as a new window..

My problem it that my software works on a tablet computer with specific size limitations...And the new windows exceeds this size.

Any idea how can I prevent this ?

Hi Kobi,

although there is no attached picture I can imagine the scenario. Even for less items a huge list is not particularly beautiful nor user friendly, so is there a chance that you group your entries and use two rings/lists instead? In the first you would select the major group, say instrument type (voltmeter/power supply), year, or letter of alphabet...; the second list gets programmatically populated only after the user has made a choice for the first one...

I ran into a similar problem and ended up rolling my own pop up.  You can respond to the EVENT_LEFT_CLICK event to generate your pop up, and swallow the event to keep the regular ring control behaviour from interfering with your custom pop up.  Hope this helps.
