Combobox

The combobox in latest release seems bugged.
After creation, the list is shown as detached from the widget.
Moreover, the area showing the currently selected value is always editable, while most use cases require it to be readonly.

steve64 the area showing the currently selected value is always editable, while most use cases require it to be readonly.

You can change this behaviour in the ui.Combobox() constructor.
I've just realized that I have not updated the documentation accordingly... Thank you !

steve64 After creation, the list is shown as detached from the widget.

Seems very strange, as LuaRT don't modify at all the list position of a Combobox. Could you show me the code that can reproduce that ?

Ok for the editable parameter, I forgot it.
Here below an example of the detached list from combo (LuaRT Studio 1.1 (LuaRT 1.0.2 x86).
It seems to occur especially at first usage of a combo.

WIN_TITLE = 'COMBO 1'
WIN_WIDTH = 485
WIN_HEIGHT = 175

ui = require 'ui'

win = ui.Window(WIN_TITLE, 'fixed', WIN_WIDTH, WIN_HEIGHT)
win.x = 700
win.y = 10

x = 15; y = 20

local platform_label = ui.Label(win, 'Platform:', x, y)
platform_label.font = 'Segoe UI'
platform_label.fontsize = 10
platform_label.fontstyle = {bold=true}

local platform_combo = ui.Combobox(win, false, {'ONE', 'TWO', 'THREE'}, x + platform_label.width + 8, y - 4, 180)
platform_combo.font = 'Segoe UI'
platform_combo.fontsize = 10
platform_combo.text = 'ONE'

win:show()
while win.visible do ui.update() end

Ok I have found the problem, I have reproduced the bug.

When you run the script outside the IDE (using wluart.exe or after script compilation), everythink is working fine.
It seems as an interaction between wxWidgets (which is the framework used for LuaRT Studio) and the ui module.
It happens only when running inside the IDE. It might be very complex to fix...

Samir

Update : It's fixed, it was due to the way LuaRT was launched by LuaRT Studio sharing the same process (default behaviour under Zerobrane Studio).

In which release I'm going to get this fix?

Samir

To get updates fast for LuaRT Studio, don't wait on releases.
You can watch this video if you don't have git to clone the Github repository :

Just unpack the downloaded archive, and run LuaRT Studio executable.
