Hi,

I've got a choose from list action in my applescript but the number of choices is rather large - I can't find a way to alter the height of the control.

Ideally I'd like to only show one option and then have a drop down list with a scroll bar but can't figure out how to do this in applescript - any ideas?

Thanks


Short answer - you can't, at least not with vanilla AppleScript.

There are a couple of UI extensions to AppleScript that let you build simple UI elements such as dialogs, and these will let you do it, but I don't know their Universal state, and therefore suitability. Check 24U Appearance OSAX, and I believe Smile has something in this area, too.

Failing that, your options re to build your app in a more full- featured environment such as FaceSpan or AppleScript Studio
