Input Control Sizing

[NPH]

Hi,

I am working in application designer and have encountered a problem when it comes to resizing my input controls.

The standard height is 32 pixels and with this, the input control acts as a button and when it is clicked, the list of dimension members drop down. This is what I want.

However, I would like the input control to be bigger. When I do this though, it changes from a button to actually having the content displayed with a scroll bar to move down the list.

Is there a way to keep it as a button?

Thank you.

Hi Nathan,

I believe this is the default behaviour for this widget without possibilities to keep it like a 'button' when resizing. It's even a performance recommendation to keep it like a button, otherwise a query to retrieve the list of values will be executed regardless whether you want to select a value.

Kind regards,

Thank you for the reply, Martijn.

I did think this was the case, I just thought I would ask to be sure.

Perhaps it is an improvement that SAP could add in the future.

Hi nathan.heath,

Try to resize the input control at run time, you can achieve this by scripting on initialization.

Thank you for the suggestion Sowmiya,

I tried this by setting the height, setting the bottom and still get the same result.

It has been suggested that I populate a dropdown through script and base the filter off the user's selection. As I can change the font size of this to increase the size of the dropdown.

It just seems like a complicated solution to a simple problem and then there is the fact that it is not the optimal scenario.
