[PLUGIN] ComboBox & ListBox

Hey, here is my first released plugin. Whooow, what an experience !

I didn't know programing javascript three weeks ago, so please be indulgent with me.

I tried to do something clear and structured though. I hope it is.

Feel free to suggest ideas/request about functionnalities of this plugin. I'm actually working on the next version.

Thanks all, and hope this will be usefull.

(I'm french, and even if I work every days with american guys, my english may be not so good. Sorry for that.)

Great plugin.

It would be good if this plugin fired an event when a selection was made.

[Add] CONDITIONS. Is enabled ?

Btw, I didn't figure out to fix the issue with safari/chrome. Please, feel free to take a look and contact me if you find the solution, I'm not sure ton solve it quickly...

Creating the ComboBox with a right click event at runtime seems to cause an extra contextual menu to display when the ComboBox is created.

There is another thread dealing with this issue at http://www.scirra.com/forum/topic47253.html where you can find an example. It only happens when the ComboBox is created with a right click and not a left click.

Is it possible to fix it where the contextual menu does not display?

Jason

blueFire I'll take a look tonight and fix it. Sorry for it.

Changelog v1.11

[Fix] A contextual menu appeared when user clicked with the right button.

Hi septeven love this plugin.

Is it possible to add an action that lets you select a line in your combobox (not just the focus) so that selection shows up on screen in the combobox.

I use multiple comboboxs so I would like to be able when I select something in one comboboxs to be able to change the setting in an other combobox with out manually doing it.

Right now I am working on a dice roller program.

So I would like to be able to do this with the combobox.

When I select "combobox dice type" to "None"

I want to auto change "combobox number of rolls" to "0".

Right now all I can do is select the combobox line ID (Focus).

Oh yes just thought of this. If you could add an condition like in the textbox plugin "text changed" as a trigger. That could be very helpful to.

Thanks for any help you can give.

I add it to my todo list, but I can't promise you it comes quickly, I'm working on other plugins which takes me already long hours.

Hopefully, I'll try to do it inbetween ;)
