> We are trying to use XForms for some in-house developoment.
> We noticed that the Choice Droplist Box Window only extends
> to the size of the MainWindow size. It is not visibleoutside
> the size of the Main Window. It appears to be in memory
> but not displayed.

> Solution we are trying:

> Is there a slider bar option for the Choice Drop List, so
> that when it has a certain number of items (say 50) it will
> display a slider on the right hand side?

> Any potential suggestions would be appreciated.

You could try a "popup" browser much like you see in windoze applications.
You put a button with a down arrow to the right of a text field. When you
press the button a browser appears below the text field. When you make a
selection the choice is copied to the text field and the browser is hidden
again. You can also get rid of the browser by pressing the button again.

You need to deactivate objects which are only partially covered by the
temporary browser.
