Customizing the ComboBox component
You can transform a ComboBox component horizontally and vertically while authoring. While
authoring, select the component on the Stage and use the Free Transform tool or any of the
Modify > Transform commands.
If text is too long to fit in the combo box, the text is clipped to fit. You must resize the combo box
while authoring to fit the label text.
In editable combo boxes, only the button is the hit area—not the text box. For static combo
boxes, the button and the text box constitute the hit area. The hit area responds by opening or
closing the drop-down list.
Using styles with the ComboBox component
You can set style properties to change the appearance of a ComboBox component. If the name of
a style property ends in "Color", it is a color style property and behaves differently than noncolor
style properties. For more information, see
on page 67.
The combo box has two unique styles:
to the button, text box, and drop-down list of the combo box through those individual
components, as follows:
•
The button is a Button instance and uses its styles. (See
component" on page
•
The text is a TextInput instance and uses its styles. (See
component" on page
•
The drop-down list is an List instance and uses its styles. (See
