DCL popup_list looks like a button

[C.Utzinger]

HI

I'm using a popup_list and it looks like a button, but i want to have it like a white field.

Should i do that with edit_box?

Please, need a little help...

Perhaps you want a list_box instead of a popup_list?

list_box

popup_list

I want this:

I have this (popup_list)

Kind regards

The actual rendering of the various controls is dependent on the platform you are running (Windows, Mac, Sun, etc.) AFAIK, there is no more control that what you have on the DCL side of things.

OK thank you.

Both images are from the same system and AutoCAD.

Kind regards.

[rkmcswain]

Are both of them using the same DCL code?

[C.Utzinger]

No. the other one is from another Programm I use for AutoCAD. Perhaps it's not a DCL.

Looks like you have this combination of text label with edit_box and popup_list.

But I believe AutoCAD when reading DCL will always show the popup_list with a grey background and not a white one.

test : dialog {
: row {
  : text {
    label = "Massstab:";
  }
  : edit_box {
    label = "1:";
    value = "50";
    key = "massstab";
    mnemonic = "1"; 
    edit_width = 13;
    width = 13;
   }
 }
 : popup_list {
   label = "Einheiten";
   value = "0";
   key = "einheiten";
   mnemonic = "E";
   list = "Zentimeter";
   edit_width = 12;
   width = 12;
  }
 ok_only;
}

My popup_lists in 2002 show a white background.  Of course when you select one the background turns blue.
