I have an NxComboBox set as a DropDownList.

When the list drops down, the up and down arrows that are normally part of the vertical scroll bar aren't being displayed...the two areas are transparent.
The scrollbar works, and if I click the area where the up/down arrows should be, then the arrows themselves appear. I see the same behavior for a ComboBoxColumn when it's in a grid.
(See the attached zip for example images)

It's a minor issue, but is there any way to fix this so that it works like a standard ComboBox, or is there something in the way I'm using it?

If it matters, I'm using the "freeware version for Delphi 7" component package.

btw - thanks for your help with adding rows to ComboBoxColumns at runtime. Your suggestion worked great.

Hi,

 

I will test to see what it happens. Quite weird bug.

I was think that since the arrows appear once the top and bottom areas of the scrollbar are clicked I could add something like this when the dropdown list was drawn:

SendMessage(ComboBox1.Handle, WM_VSCROLL, SB_LINEDOWN, 0 );
SendMessage(ComboBox1.Handle, WM_VSCROLL, SB_LINEUP, 0 );

but I never found a combobox event where it seemed to have any effect.

 

Would something like that even work?

Hi,

 

This are a custom drawn scrollbars. There was a problem with detecting movement inside non-client area so I needed to do custom drawn scrollbars. As soon I got some time I will fix it.

Ok, thanks.

 

As I say, the ComboBoxColumn exhibits the same issue while you're fixing things.

Any update on when this will be fixed? I still see the issue in v5.9.85.
