Limited Number Of Lines In Preference Box

November 11, 2005 4:30 PM from

There are a limited number of lines in the preference box. It won't grow to accomodate more lines. There is nothing in the documents to add another preference tab.

What if I need more, what do I do? Can someone show me an example?

For everything but a hotkey preference (and maybe that too) you can use other input options. Use the DesktopX ActiveX form controls (edit box, combo box...) to create a form, and use those values to directly set your preference values, for example.

Thank you rabid,

This does allow me to put as many on one form as I can squeeze. Now for another question.

I tried to create two preference pages. One using the default Preferences with Widget.AddPreference, then as my last preference I added a checkbox that says to modify other preferences check this.

Then in the OnPreferencesChange event I tried to open a form I created in the OnScriptEnter event. The problem I am having is if there are two forms with preferences (default and added) the Preferences tab does not show up in the right-click context menu of the widget. It is as if they are competing with each other so the widget gets confused.

Can someone help me?
