Long pull down menu with no vertical scrollbar

Folks,
it's been already 3.5 years ago when we had to learn that there is no way to have a long pull down menu control without a vertical scrollbar. See
http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=217428&query.id=395029#M217428
Now, after we got LabVIEW 8.6.1 there is still no opportunity to suppress the vertical scrollbar though there is a property node "Vertical Scrollbar Visible" for combo boxes. As Smercurio already observed in 2006 with the LV 8.2 combo box, this property node does not have any effect, probably due to a bug. This behaviour is still the same with LV 8.6.1.
Just a few days ago a user of our software complained that items in the menu would be missing. In fact they weren't but rather he oversaw the scrollbar and did not scroll down the column -- that's why he didn't find the menu items. In general it's quite inconvenient if one has to scroll down first before one can select a particular item. In most cases the scrollbar is simply useless since the panel is tall enough to show all menu items at the same time.
How are you designing a long pull down menu on your user interface? Any ideas how to circumvent the nasty scrollbar?
Sorry for the rather lengthy post. I am afraid you had to use the vertical scrollbar while reading through my text...
Thanks for any contribution,
Peter

I think this does what you are asking.  It works for any named numeric control, and I think a little modification will make it work for a combo box too.

  • Image does not diplay when using "Pull Down Menu with image"?

    Image not displaying when attaching image to the Parent in the New DHTML Pull down menu list.Displays a blank grey image. Any Ideas?

    Hello,
    Yes, it seems pretty obvious that you would have to replace all for of them otherwise in that condition the generic one would show up.
    But to spell it out you need to replace in . List Template Current , List Template Current with Sub List Items , List Template Noncurrent , List Template Noncurrent with Sub List Items.
    This is one of those thngs you should have just tried it took me longer to type all this out than it would have taken you to test.

  • Safari pull down menu click to select fails

    Safari on my Mac Pro running 10.8.3 has suddenly stopped allowing me to select items in pull down menus with a single click. It was working earlier today but after my lunch when I woke the Mac Pro from sleep I can select anything in a pull down menu with my trackpad.

  • Download Pull-Down Menu in Web App Olive ActivePaper Daily 4.0 No Longer "Works" in Firefox 10

    I have a paid subscription to the online edition (aka "e-edition") of the Raleigh News & Observer, http://www.newsobserver.com/. In Firefox 10, I am no longer able to download the pdf of the paper; the download pull-down menu in web app "Olive ActivePaper Daily 4.0" no longer "works" in Firefox 10 on Win XP or Win 7. This was not a problem in Firefox 9 and earlier. The pull-down menu continues to "work" in IE8. A valid username & password is required to do the download. The ''only ''change made to my Windows XP system was the upgrade from Firefox 9 to Firefox 10.

    The thread "Keynote Cancelled Shutdown: how do I troubleshoot?" has recently posted a possible solution but is there an explanation or a fix planned?

    I’m using an iMac running Os X Yosemite, Photoshop CS5 Extended, R2880 Epson printer  In the Print Settings dialog box, I can’t select Color, Advanced BW or Grayscale unless I select “Printer Manages Color”. The pull down menu is grayed out. Even with “printer manages color” the tif or jpg image comes out in color overlaid with black. (See example - printer1. image on left is close to what it should be). Photoshop has no updates pending. I’ve downloaded the latest Epson driver which was working fine just before the problem occurred

    Is your Photoshop CS5 updated to 12.1?
    Are you on Yosemite 10.10.1 or Yosemite 10.10.2?
    Did you apply the recent Epson software 2.1.9 update?
    What type of file is it (file format)?  What bit depth and what color space?

  • Working with Social Panel (YouTube).  I am having trouble after I place the widget on the page, I cannot change the options in the pull down menu. As soon as I click on the option to enter a URL the option panel closes before I can place the text

    Any Ideas as to what I am neglecting to do or should do?

    I bring up a page that has some formatting on it
    I click on Social Widgets or Slide Show Widget and bring the widget over to the page.
    I then click on the arrow at the side of the widget on the page to bring up an options dialog.
    As soon as I click on one of the selections the entire pull down menu of options disappears.
    I've been using Muse since the very beginning of the Creative Cloud offering.    As soon as Muse was updated to 2014 I started having this problem.   
    None of the other applications such as Dreamweaver seems to have any of these bugs.
    I have contacted Adobe and been through two sessions of deleting Muse and reinstalling it.  
    I have had an Adobe Tech mirror the system and as soon as I went back into Muse the problem persisted. 
    I am at the point of stopping the use of Muse entirely and moving the websites that I have in Creative Cloud that were created with Muse moved to another server.

  • Firefox 3.6 had a "Bookmark All Tabs" in the Bookmarks Pull down menu. How can I "Bookmark All Tabs" using Firefox 4.0.1

    I recently updated to Firefox 4.0.1 from Firefox 3.6. Firefox 3.6 had a "Bookmark All Tabs" in the Bookmarks pull down menu. There isn't a "Bookmark All Tabs" in the Firefox 4.0.1 Bookmarks pull down menu. Has this feature been eliminated from Firefox 4.0.1? If I want to save 24 tabs in one window of Firefox and 14 tabs in another window of Firefox, do I have to save all the tabs individually? How can I set the options, preferences, etc. so that I can "Bookmark All Tabs" at once in a window of Firefox 4.0.1. I am running Firefox 4.0.1 on a desktop computer with Windows7 Professional OS with Firefox as my default browser.

    Right click a tab and you will get the option to bookmark all tabs. Or use keyboard '''Alt + B''' which opens the old style menu. You can make changes to Firefox, as explained in this post: [/questions/799856#answer-155765]

  • Spry pull down menu doesn't show in IE6

    Hi,

    pull down doesn't show.
    I researched and tried but I couldn't figured out. (although
    quiet few posting about same kind of problem. Since I don't have

  • How can I make a pull down menu in I web

    how can I make a pull down menu in I web?

    You can't do this directly in iWeb itself and it is quite complex - you need to use third party software and it is a matter of pasting code into the html snippet in iWeb and then uploading certain things to your host/server and then connecting them.  It can get quite fiddly if you don't really know what you are doing and it only takes you to upload the wrong thing and get some code wrong and your menu will not show up.
    Why not ditch iWeb in favour of newer software - try EverWeb at http://www.everwebapp.com and in EverWeb you can create drop down menus from within the app and it is very easy to do.
    I would change now as iWeb has not been supported by Apple or sold for the last 2 years, so now might be a good time to look elsewhere and ditch iWeb for good.
    I already have and purchased EverWeb and re-built one of my sites using this app and have moved my other site to Drupal so that I can do more with it and make it a members site - this can be done more easily if you use a Content Management System like Drupal.

  • Pull-down menu for Ring-Constants in module parameter settings?

    Hey all,
    I have a labview VI that has a ring-constant as a control.  When I call this VI as an action in teststand and go to the module parameters, then I must enter in a number (I32) instead of having a pull-down menu containing my list of items.  This is particularly annoying because I have to reference the VI to match a number to an item name.  So far, the only way I've been able to get a pull-down menu in the module parameters is by using a enum constant as a labview control, but this doesn't work for me because the item values are not sequential.  Has anyone found a way around this?
    -Ryan

    Hello Ryan,
    To my knowledge, there is no way of getting a Ring Control to show up as a pull-down menu in TestStand as with the Enum Control.
    However, as a workaround, you could create an Enum Control that contains the same menu items as your Ring Control and use the Enum as your TestStand parameter to set the value of your Ring Control. Please see the attached VI. Set the Enum Control and run the VI. The Ring Control will match the Enum Control.
    Let me know if this helps.
