Hi,
I am using an NSComboBox with a number of items on the menu. It has
scrolling enabled, but when the user clicks to bring up the menu and the app
is running on a small screen resolution, like 800x600, there are items that
don't fit and can't be scrolled into view. (I never actually see a scroll
bar become active, though it appears it should and if you check the combo
box method hasVerticalScroller it returns YES).
I'm not sure what to do about this problem. I don't see anything in the
archives describing similar glitches, so I figure it's just my lack of
experience working with this control.
I am using a custom data source. In my awakeFromNib method I call
setDataSource to set it then call setNumberOfVisibleItems to the count of
my array of items. Is there anything else I might need to do so the user is
able to access all the items properly?
On more commonly used screen resolutions things fit and I don't see the bug,
but it will annoy the occasional user working in a lower resolution. I also
noticed if I position the window "just so," even with more screen space I
can get an item or two to disappear of the bottom edge irretrievably.
??
Eric
