Dear All,

Can you please look into my issue, the "Listbox" text not shown in the dialog. But its working in Windows 7 InDesign CS 5.5

System Details:

Windows 8.1 Pro

InDesign CS 5.5

var w = new Window ("dialog", "Select the Multiple Folders");
var f = w.graphics.font;
var arr=["12", "18", "16", "14", "13", "12"];
var list = w.add ("listbox", [0, 0, 200, 250], arr, {multiselect:true});
list.graphics.font=ScriptUI.newFont("Times",ScriptUI.FontStyle.REGULAR,f.size+1);
list.graphics.foregroundColor = w.graphics.newPen(list.graphics.PenType.SOLID_COLOR, [0.55, 0.33, 01, 1], 1); 

w.add ("button", undefined, "OK", {name: "ok"});
w.show();

alert(list.selection);

Phil,

If the solution in referred to by Jonny doesn't work, you could try this:

function refresh (control) {
  var wh = control.size;
  control.size = [1+wh[0], 1+wh[1]];
  control.size = [wh[0], wh[1]];
}

It solved a display problem that had been bothering me for a while. Only a couple of days ago I updated the ScriptUI for Dummies guide with an example of Marc Autret's sprite approach, and it occurred to me that that trick could be used to solve my problem with lists. This solution is more a heavy-handed kick in the butt, but it works well. I tried it because some (re)composition problems in InDesign can often be fixed by making a text frame a tiny but taller and immediately restoring its size.

Another solution was suggested by Vamitul not long ago: add an item and remove it again straight away.

Hope that either of these two methods of rattling a control fixes your problem.

I believe the solution in https://forums.adobe.com/message/7737466 might also apply to InDesign.
