Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    Wow, I did not even think about using auto for the width. That worked 100%. Much, much easier than I thought it was going to be.

    Thanks for the easy solution!

    This turned out to be so much simpler than I thought it was going to be.

    For your DropdownBox control, set the Style Property to:

    Code:
    width:auto;
    The width of the DropdownBox will now resize to the longest value you set for the dropdown.

    DropDownBox Control, I guess I did not specify that correctly. What is not showing correctly is the select choice in the box, the '13th' and any other date is cut off.

    I am populating the dropdown from JS on an onActive in a panel card, if that is worth anything.

    It's not really clear what is missing from the dropdown box. The image looks ok. What is not showing? Is it the Selected Choice that is not showing correctly or the information in the dropdown portion?

    Is this a DropDownBox Control or a TextBox Lookup Control?

    Re: Dropdown not rendering to its complete width

    That works if I want it to be slightly to the left.. And it stays. I want it to be centered and have it stay, not bounce on hovering over it. It bounces if I set the width, it doesn't bounce if I do not set the width but the problem is that if I do not set the width, the dropbox is not wide enough as the photo shows.

    But for now, this works, but not ideal.

    Thanks for the reply!

    Dropdown not rendering to its complete width

    This title may not be the best so I apologize.. Couldn't really think of another way to title it.

    Anyway, when the dropdown renders, it should render to the complete width of what the text in the textbox has, or at least I think it should (if I'm wrong then just let me know).

    The dropdown sets its width, appears to be ~50% of the screen. Which it isn't enough to view the text in the box. I can't figure out why or a fix to this. Setting the controls width will make the text bounce to the left and that's not exactly ideal. I am using the Alpha Grey css theme and I have basic css for the dropdown, including
    Code:
    text-align: center;
    I am setting these values via onActivate on the panel, which moving it to any panel before this panel is activated, does nothing. I have to do it in JS as I only had a range of dates and I needed to get the dates between the start and end date (as you can see with that) and then I format it as I have in the picture provided.. I am hoping it is not because of JS, which I have a sneaking suspicion it is.
