Dialog Boxes in TestStand Seq Editor Scroll

[TobyD]

I am relatively new to TestStand and I have a question. I noticed that the drop-down dialog boxes in TestStand only drop one item and then force you to scroll through all the options using tiny arrows. Is there any way to make these dialog boxes drop down the way they would in a normal program (show all options). This is worse than Microsoft's "personalized menus" option.

Thanks,

Toby

Hi Toby,

Hope you had a good weekend!  I read through your post, but am a little confused about the behavior you described.  Would you be able to post a screenshot showing the issue?  Thanks!

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the reply. I'm sure the confusion is my fault because I said dialog box when what I meant to say was combo box. I have attached a screenshot showing what I'm talking about. Rather than only showing one item at a time in a combo box can I show the whole list?

Thanks,

Toby

Hi Toby,

Based on your screenshot, it appears you are using Windows Vista.  I looked through the release notes for TestStand and found: TestStand 4.0 does not support Windows Vista.  It is possible we will offer support in later versions of TestStand though.  I'm sorry I can't be more helpful.

I am using Vista and I am also aware it is not supported. Thanks for looking anyway. Do the combo boxes function normally in XP or do I still have to scroll through items one at a time?

Toby,

I am running Windows XP on my end, and the combo boxes work as expected.  When you click the arrow, all of the options are listed.  I'm sorry again for the inconvenience!
