Inputbox dropdown is not scrollable

Pout · 15 Sept 2009, 09:25

I have an dropdown inputbox in Sketchup which contains a lot of values.

It is created like this:

list=_readable_milestones.join("|") dropdown=[list] prompts=["Milestones: "] #set the initial value in the dropdown list to the first date values=[_readable_milestones[0]] #show the selection window results= UI.inputbox prompts, values, dropdown, "Select a Milestone"

The problem is that the dropdown box does not show an arrow or anything so i can scroll in it.
Is this a common problem or is there somthing wrong with my script?

regards

It's a limitation of the inputbox. Either split the 'Milestones' into sub-sections that can all be seen OR if you know what the name of the 'Milestone' is then select in the dialog's option window and type the first letter of its name, then use the up/down arrow keys to navigate to it and hit enter to use it...

Alternatively use a webdialog - but that's another story...
