I am using lazarus 1.4.2 on Linux Mint unit and 1.2.6 on Windows 7 unit. Combo box is has a scroll bar on the windows unit but not the linux unit. Which is the problem: windows/linux or 1.4 vs 1.2?

[Lazarus] TComboBox listbox width
Hi, what do I have to do to increase the listbox width of comboboxes depending on item widths? As expected the Windows specific method I used with Delphi no longer works with Lazarus.

[Lazarus] TComboBox in csDropDown Mode Fails for Partial Match
Hi Lazarus People! This is my first communication with the Lazarus community, so I'd like to start by introducing myself and saying a big thank you to everyone else involved. Lazarus is amazing on so many levels. My business is about computers, software development and support. I have been using Lazarus for application development for about a year now. I switched over from Delphi which I had been using since 1995. I look forward to hearing from you and if there is anything I can help you with please let me know. http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=25320 I have just documented a bug, see lazarus bugtracker ID 0025320. It's basically that the operation of the combobox is incorrect under certain conditions, where the text partially matches an item in the list. I found similar problems with TDBLookupComboBox and I plan to report those too.

It breaks delphi compatibility 2. It breaks current apps which rely on combo OnChange() like dmitry stated eg. MyCombo.Text := 'blah'; MyComboChange(MyCombo); So if such combo have OnChange() assigned it'll fire twice. Problem is not in small apps, but apps with hundreds of forms and hundreds of combos are real PITA. In your case I'll prefer to add new event OnComboTextChange instead of firing text changes in OnChange(). zeljko -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus

No, this also didn't work.

so if user types text it'll call OnChange() for each char like in TEdit ?
hm...I don't like it.
Does work this (cannot try at the moment) ?
i := ComboBox1.Items.Add('something');
ComboBox1.ItemIndex := i;
OnChange() should fire on itemindex change if I remember correctly.

[Lazarus] TComboBox and OnChange
Hello, a little problem with the OnChange-Event of the TComboBox. If the user selects a item from the drop-down-list, OnChange is called. If the user places the cursor in the combobox and types a text, OnChange is also called. But if I set the text with the .Text-property [1], OnChange is NOT called. If i substitute the TComboBox with a TEdit, setting the .Text-property causes an OnChange-call. I know that this behaviour is the same as in Delphi, but I think it is not consistent. Is it possible to change this? regards Michael -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
