Views.mdx help

Just posted this on another site but thought I'd double my chances of a reply by having it here too.

 

I've some experience with dialogs and the use of dlls to spice things up a bit. However, I have just now, for the first time tried to put icons into a combo box & am having a tad of trouble.

 dll $mdx SetControlMDX $dname 10 ComboBoxEx drop > $vdll
 did -i $dname 10 1 iconsize small
 did -i $dname 10 1 seticon 0, $+ ico\globe2.ico
 did -a $dname 10 1 1 0 0 City Chats
 did -a $dname 10 1 1 0 0 Computing
 did -a $dname 10 1 1 0 0 Entertainment
 did -a $dname 10 1 1 0 0 General
 did -a $dname 10 1 1 0 0 Health & Medicine
 did -a $dname 10 1 1 0 0 Interests
 did -a $dname 10 1 1 0 0 Lifestyle
 did -a $dname 10 1 1 0 0 Music
 did -a $dname 10 1 1 0 0 News
 did -a $dname 10 1 1 0 0 Peers
 did -a $dname 10 1 1 0 0 Religion
 did -a $dname 10 1 1 0 0 Romance
 did -a $dname 10 1 1 0 0 Teens
 did -c $dname 10 5 1

 

The icon is displaying no problem at all but when I actually click on the combo it is not dropping down to show the menu.

 

Can anyone esle see what obvious thing I am missing here?

 

Thanks in advance

for the actual dialog, don't use dropdown setting, keep it as simple. And from there, the DLL will convert it to drop down. Also, with the did -c, make sure you check the second box, as the first is used to hold the data (if it applies, i'm not sure, well yea, i'm guessing here based on experience with other mdx features )
