[ComboboxList] Cant access settings window in ComboBoxList extension - Cant access settings window in ComboBoxList extension - Messages
#1 Posted: 10/6/2020 4:33:52 AM
When I try to access the settings of a ComboBoxList (by double clicking or right clicking and choosing settings) another window is recorded in the taskbar but you cannot access it and you cannot click back into the main smath calc page. You have to close the non visible settings window to get back control. It never used to be so as I have used the extension a lot in several calc sheets.
Any help would be appreciated
Cheers

I have just semi resolved this but it may still give others issues.
I use a dual monitor system and when I have the Smath program window on the 2nd monitor and try the ComboBoxList double click I cant access the settings. However, when the main program window is on the 1st display I can access it.

Hello [userlink]Santa401[/userlink],
I have a dual monitor setup and I'm not able to reproduce the issue. Do you have some application with the "always on top" feature active?

Hi Davide
Thanks for replying. I am not aware of any of my applications with an always on top facility enabled. Ive never used that before and not sure even how to enable it. How would I check if that is what's causing it?
Kind Regards

I experience same issue but with others software. Usually I use Alt+Space followed by the letter "M" for Move de window and the arrows or the mouse for move it to some visible place. I don't know if the popup window for combobox have enable this function, which came from windows version 1 or 2, and it's enable by clicking at the top left of the window, or with Alt+Space if it's not visible like in Chrome for example.
Best regards.
Alvaro.

I probably misinterpreted the problem. The dialog is shown on the primary screen independently from where actually is the program, so if you are working on a secondary screen the dialog might stay unnoticed blocking smath. I thought the dialog was stuck behind another window.
That's something annoying and inefficient, I'll definitely try to improve it.
