Office like ListComboBOx UI....

Postby genscan » Thu Mar 17, 2005 9:50 am

Since there is an Office2003 LnF extension, should it be possible to have a new UI for ListComboBoxes, like in MSOffice ? The Look is more flat etc...

It should be a great UI improvment for for Action framework toolbars...
Thanks.

We will, just a matter of time. We have a task to do better job on AbstractComboBox so that they can also have XP style. I think your request could be part of that task.

It would be good if the Non-editable ListComboBox had the same appearance as JComboBox for the different themes.

Maybe for now, you can use JideComboBox which has a flat look.

I'm actually using it to put in a groupable list model. Is the implementation of skinning this like a normal combo box likely to be done within the next year?

What do you mean by "skinning this like a normal combo box"?

I may have hijacked the original with a completely different request, but it was a dead thread anyway.

I'm just wondering if the ListComboBoxes will ever look like the JComboBoxes.

AbstractComBox has the same look as JComboBox on most of the common L&Fs (Windows L&F in particular). But looks quite different on others (Aqua L&F in particular) because their UIs are implemented quite differently. It is very challenge to get them look the same. To be frank, I don't expect we get around it soon.
