RE: [platform-swt-dev] Open Combo programatically
|
Title: Message
Hi Federico,
Not with the SWT api. You can try the message
CB_SHOWDROPDOWN, it seems to be supported on WinCE - I just haven't tried myself
yet.

Thank's, I'll check your suggestions.
¿Are you saying you can't use the stylus of the iPaq? On
this platform, you are expected to click on the combo box arrow down with the
stylus to bring up the list of choices. That's the way regular apps such as Word
work on this device.
It's
an application to be used with the pocketpc inside a case (to avoid shock and
misuse) and the customer doesn't want to use the stylus but still have all the
usability... It'll be in the
streets handled by salesmen.
If for some reason you can't use a stylus - but this is surprising
- I'd suggest another workaround: use a combination of a List,
and a Text widget instead of a Combo. You will then be able to show/hide the
List as you want.
Yeah,
nobody here thought of that, but it's a nice hack... we'll see if we need to get
to it.
Thank
you.

Subject: [platform-swt-dev] Open Combo
programatically
|
¿Is it possible to open a Combo programatically?
We are using SWT on Windows for pocket pc (Compaq iPaq) and we can't use
pointing devices, just a strange keyboard with a few keys. F4 opens it on
windows (PC), but it seems to be impossible to do that using the soft
keyboard.
I believe it's not possible to open them with the api, but
maybe using OS.sendMessage(...)?
Any
ideas?
