Increase the size of an AutoComplete feature

[Stephdidou]

I've found this tutorial (really well done) in the internet : http://www.xtydigitaldesign.ca/autoComplete.php

I've started to use it and change it a little. But I can't find a way to increase the size font of the text of the list. (when you type "P" you get a list with four fruits that start with the letter P.) I've found how to increase the font size of everything, EXCEPT the font siez of the list..

Do you know how can I increase the font size of this list ?

Thank you very much !

I think it is in this part of the code, but I'm not sure :

    acList = new List();
    acList.x = 0;
    acList.y = acTxt.y + acTxt.height;
    acList.setSize(_txtWidth, listHeight);
    acList.visible = false;
    acList.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, listHandler);
    addChild(acList);

In the class of the tutorial you linked change these Lines

titleFormat.size = 12;

titleFormat.font = "verdana";

to whatever you prefer

I've tried. It's changing the font of the description, not the list...

Try adding this code:

import fl.managers.StyleManager;

import fl.controls.List;

// Set a global textFormat for every List Component

var tf:TextFormat= new TextFormat();

tf.size = 16;

StyleManager.setComponentStyle(List, "textFormat", tf);

Perfect ! Thanks !

But now I've got this problem

Do you know how I can increase the size of each cells ?

[Stephdidou]

I've tried

acList.setSize(845, 900);

But it raises the length not the height....

Don't know why

[Stephdidou]

No one ? I'm really really stuck here.... If someone could help it'll mean a lot.

Thx !

try

acList.rowHeight = 16;

and then for spacing between listItems:

tf.leading = 4;

Great ! Thank you.

Last thing (sorry, for that), it seems that the size of the scroll bar can't be increase directly in its Movieclip.. Do you know a way to increase it ? Thank you again !
