Thank you for the feedback.
I will have this discussed with the development team and let you know the result.

Is is possible to control where the WebCombo renders?

Thanks. That does move the results box to the left. However, it appears that that the width of the results box is still calculated as if it is out of room and still truncates the results. Is there something else I need to do? I am not setting the ResultBoxWidth. So, it seems to automatically calculate the needed width unless there is no room to display it all.

Also, it doesn't calculate the width correctly if IE is on my secondary monitor. It only works correctly when not near the right edge of the primary monitor. This is IE8.

Thanks.

WebCombo has ResultBoxWindowType property which specifies the resultbox’s window type. This property is only applicable to IE browser.

However, in the most recent version of IE (IE 11), “floating” result window – WebCombo’s result box will be displayed on the top of browser window which is not limited to the browser’s size – is no longer supported.

In your case, you need to adjust the result box’s position to show in a different place. In order to do this, please try to set the following properties.

Set ResultBoxWindowType to Normal.
Set AdjustResultBoxLeft to -260.
Set AdjustResultBoxTop to 0.

The illustration below shows the result.

Hope this help.

I have a page that uses a multicolumn WebCombo in popup mode in the upper-right corner. The page is in an application that is always used in IE. When IE is not maximized, the WebCombo displays properly and goes past the border of the browser. When IE is maximized, the WebCombo opens, but does not have enough room to display. The user sees a portion of the columns and is allowed to scroll to the right to view the other columns. Is it possible to make the WebCombo open completely but to open to the left so that all columns are visible?

In the older version of WebCombo that I upgraded from, if there was not room to display the extra columns, only the first was shown. The user could scroll to view the other columns. Now, it attempts to display the other columns anyway and cuts off in the middle of a column. Can I control how this rendering occurs?

Either solution would work for me. My customer doesn't like the way it renders now and I'm trying to see what my options are.

Thanks,

Keith
