ComboBox only showing one item

[Rewbs]

Hi all,

I'm filling a ComboBox called f0ParamList with Addstring as follows:

CString sParm;
for (int i = 0; i < numParams; i++)
{
sParm.Format(&quot;%d: &quot;, i);
int idx = (myDialog->m_f0ParamList).AddString(sParm);
}

At this point, (myDialog->m_f0ParamList).GetCount() returns 8 as expected, but the comboBox itself (a dropdown list) only shows one item.

Any thoughts on what could be causing this?

Cheers,
Rewbs.

does it have a vertical scrollbar?

could be you need to resize it in the resource editor

Combos are a pain. You can select them in 2 ways. Clcik on the little arrow and resize it by dragging the combo box to a longer vertical height. This will not change the combo box appearance but instead, change the dropdown list size. By default, that list is the size of the combo box (unless you drew it really tall)

Brilliant - that was the problem. Can't believe I spent so much time on this!!
