Question

DropDownList height

Hello, there.

Is there a way to set maximum height for a dropdownlist when it's showing?

I have a very huge list, when I click to select, I'll prefer to have more scroll instead of a list occupying almost my screen's height.

I tried preferredSize.height, but, of course, it changes the size of the closed list on window.

Is it possible?

Thanks in advance.

Regards from Brazil.

    Hmm, it should work.

    When I look at the full specs for dropdown (SUI): https://www.indesignjs.de/extendscriptAPI/indesign-latest/#DropDownListSUI.html

    there are minimum and maximum sizes.

    If you look at Peter Kahrel's scriptUI for dummies (revision 2.13 dec 2016) and look at the script on page 48, is the code being used for the preferredSize.height syntax what your script looks like?

    Hope this helps.

    If the answer wasn't in my post, perhaps it might be on my blog at colecandoo!

    Hi, Colin. Thanks for the answer.

    This preferredSize.height changes the appearance of the closed list (its

    height on window).
