Using option menu buttons...

Post by arombauts » Tue Jul 28, 2009 8:05 am

If I set let's say 10 options in the button and only want to display 3, I use the Inspector to define it. But even after that, the button displays the whole list when clicked.

Dear arombauts,

From the docs:
This property affects only buttons whose menuMode property is set to "option" (on Unix and Windows systems only) or "comboBox". Other menu types are not affected by the setting of the menuLines.

Btw Rombauts is a belgian name, isn't it? Do you speak Dutch? If so, you might be interested in the Dutch forum at http://runrev.info/rrforum/

Best regards,

Mark

Indeed. My ancestor family was from Mechelen or Antwerp but moved a long time ago to Wallonia... and I dont' master Dutch, sorry. And for computer matters I'm always using English. Thanks anyway.
