Hi all
Is there a way to create a combolist with multiple columns in the dropdown part? (see pic)
Until now I didn't found any solution.
Cheers

Hi, Jürg, try a \t between both parts.
(strcat strTitle "\t\t" strPath)

Hm, maybe it's worth to add a
{2} to allow \t in comboboxes.

Just curious, did you test with the Multicolumn property set to True?

I don't believe he could because there is none for the combobox...

The combobox has no Multicolumn property, also in Alpha 26. Shall I add as bug report or feature request?

Juerg already added a feature request for this.

Hi Owen
May I ask for possible realisation schedule?

I did some research, and found that there isn't any way to support tabbed columns in the built in control, so it will require a custom control. Since this is a lot of work, it will not be possible until a future version. It might be possible to fake your own custom combo in the meantime by using a modeless form with a standard listbox for the dropdown list.

Seems an usable workaround.
