Add-in ComboBox's Drop Down List With showCaption="true" Does Not Align To Box

Question

Please see the attached screen shot.  See how when showCaption="true" the drop down part of the ComboBox does not line up with the text box on the toolbar...  any ideas on how to fix this?

Also, another question about the Add-in's ComboBox... see how it only displays 4 items and there are a lot more items to scroll through?  How can I increase the number of items shown?  I would like to show more like 8.

Thanks a lot for any help!!!

*EDIT* I answered my second question, just set rows="8"

I don't have ArcGis 10 so I'm no able to verify this.

Maybe caption of the combo can be some other AddIn like Label or Button with flat style to simulate Label appearance.

Ryan,

Thanks for posting the work around, which makes it look better under the circumstances. I agree the "designed" behavior is odd.

Lame. If it "is as designed" then they designed a defective combobox. There's no point in showing the caption if it causes the dropdown UI to break convention with every other combobox ever invented (i.e. the dropdown descends directly from combobox).

The compromise I settled on was to show the caption and then make the dropdown wider than the combobox like so-

sizeString="WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW" itemSizeString="WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW"
