option/combo box problem on web revlet

Post by scott47303 » Thu Dec 16, 2010 4:43 pm

On a standalone application this button performs fine but when saved as a Web app, it is broke. I can create an option button with any number of items in it that is more than is displayed, so you have to scroll or use the arrows. On the web version you cannot scroll or use the mouse to scroll down any. You can use the keyboard arrows to select something farther down the list. is this a know bug in the web plugin? using live code 4.5 XP/ IE 8

You should make sure that your 'Keyboardfocus' option in the Inspector is selected, and there are also other polling methods that could be used to track keyboard strokes the long way, but that's not entirely recommended. Try the rawKeyDown handler that is called if your combo box is a 'Default' one if you know what I mean ;)

I don't see a keyboardfocus option in the inspector on option or combo buttons, only for 'regular' buttons.

can anyone else confirm this problem for me? just drop a option button on a stack and give it more options than can be displayed then save it for web, and see if you can scroll. it does it on all the machines i have tried it on, a standalone executable works fine.

I have confirmation this is a known bug in the Windows version of the web player. Hopefully it is fixed soon!
