DropList appears disabled

[klipko]

Hello:

Hoping I'm not the only one with this issue; I've created a DropList control on a custom page but for what ever reason the control looks disabled. It does fully function, I can select either of the options listed and the OnChange event fires. It's just gray giving the appearance that it's disabled.

If I switch to the Create to a ComboBox, the control looks just fine

Any ideas as to why that is?

Sample code

code:


!include "MUI2.nsh"



Name TestSetup

OutFile TestSetup.exe



XPStyle on



    Page custom GetInstallationType ;LeaveGetInstallationType



Var /GLobal Dialog

Section Test



SectionEnd



Function .onInit

        InitPluginsDir

FunctionEnd



Function GetInstallationType



        !insertmacro MUI_HEADER_TEXT "$(GetInstallationType_Header)" "$(GetInstallationType_SubHeader)"    

        

        nsDialogs::Create /NOUNLOAD 1018

        Pop $Dialog

        

        ${If} $Dialog == error

            Abort

        ${EndIf}

        

        ${NSD_CreateGroupBox} 0 0 100% 100 GroupBox

        Pop $0

        

        ${NSD_CreateLabel} 10 20 95% 30 Description

        Pop $0

        

        ${NSD_CreateDropList} 10 60 200 30 ""

        Var /Global GetInstallationType_DropListInstallType

        Pop $GetInstallationType_DropListInstallType

        

       ${NSD_CB_AddString} $GetInstallationType_DropListInstallType one

       ${NSD_CB_AddString} $GetInstallationType_DropListInstallType two

       ${NSD_CB_AddString} $GetInstallationType_DropListInstallType three

        

        ${NSD_CB_SelectString} $GetInstallationType_DropListInstallType two

        

        nsDialogs::Show



FunctionEnd

Thank you.

The Windows combobox is the dumbest control ever. Try making the height a higher value like 100u if the problem is on Win2000 or older (or classic theme).

A combobox in list mode will look "disabled" (not really because the text is not grey) in some visual styles and there is nothing you can do about that.
