[Solved] Hoizontal scrollbar and dropdown height

[Fabiano Damasceno]

Hi, I'm using a RadComboBox with MaxHeight defined. If the width of the text in the items is bigger than the width of the dropdown list, a auto horizontal scrollbar will appear, that's nice and desirable, but, if there is just one item and the horizontal scrollbar appears, the item will be hidden by the scrollbar.

There is someway to continue using MaxHeight without this problem?

I attached a image that shows what I mean.

Hello Fabiano,

I posted this a while back and still waiting for a resolution.

Hi Fabiano,

The bug is logged for fixing and in the meanwhile you can use a workaround - measure the text with of RadComboBoxItems and if there is an item which width is bigger than the width of RadComboBox dropdown, increase the height of the dropdown with 20 px to accommodate for the horizontal scrollbar.

I made a sample page to illustrate this approach.

Naturally you won't need this workaround after we fix this issue
