Droplist Widgets [message #7903]

In trying to write a GUI interface for an existing program, I have found
a problem using the droplist widget. The widget control doens't
recognize the positioning is the lists so I end up with overlapping
boxes. I tried x and y offsets but it didn't change the output.

Has anybody else had problems with this and is there a fix available for
it?

Thanks,

Julia,
could you post a piece of code to show the problem?
Maybe I had a similar problem too. The solution was quite simple - I just added
a new widget_base just for that widget.

Hope that helps.

Julia,

I checked your file, and I think, the problem is the ysize=1 in the call to
widget_droplist. I also introduced three new base widgets (xxx1, xxx2 and
xxx3) to get the temp buttons into one line with the droplists. I attach the
modified code to this mail; the modified code lines are marked by
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@, so you may easyly find them. You should also use
widget_control, set_button=1, <toggle_button_id> for the toggle button
widgets to set an initial value.

Best regards

Michel

In trying to straighten out the confusion regarding my request, I
decided it would be much easier if you could look at the problem. I
have put screen dumps of my problems on a web page:

with the related code well as a more detailed decription.

Thanks
