I have a combo box and i am able to edit the width of the scroller in the main window but the popup window i can't find where to control the various graphic elements for that such as size of text and width of scroller. How do i edit that? thanks!

seamus, there are several common parameter modification differences amongst modules I am wondering the same. I just brought up one such as where is the array input and output on a preset manager.I think at one point it would be a good thing to build a list of differences between the modules and see if we can have them all on the same basic functionality. Maybe a wish list as a community would be good to start, accumulate the list and place this list as a feature request with the backing.

@seamus: not sure to understand your question, cause there's no text or scroller in a popup window ?

@sephult: there's no array input on a preset manager, cause presets are a list, not an array...?

I will upload an example sorry for not being clear.
A screenshot might be the best way to illustrate the question.
To rephrase again quickly now I am trying to control the parameters like size and such of the popup selection window that accompanies a combobox. I wanted to make the popup windows scroller larger. I know where the scroller adjustments can be made for the first window but cannot find further controls for the popup window of choices.

Thank u for your help!

ok, i think i understand now, you want to edit the combobox settings when this one is opened..?
but there's no 2 different settings possible ( closed and opened), so you have to play with its size when closed

a workaround is to use a list box in a pop up window
here an example

Hi Nay,

:) I do understand that, I wasn't trying to hijack his post with the specific request. Just seems some cross module functionality should remain more common.
I understand presets are a list, however 16 recall inputs begs for an array to control. Seems most every module should have an array option for all the IO. I actually have been forcing myself to stick with more arrays and single lines for cleanliness and in most all cases I can do so...So I just created a Fastscript single last cell parameter to Preset Manager.

Amongst this there are other modules I find too similar to seamus, like value sizes. In a step line module, I cannot find a place to change the font size of the value text. Where in another fader I can adjust such thing.

As a user you tend to learn the basic modules and get used to those parameters, you explore different ones just like in my new venture with the Matrix and you start finding things somewhat work the same, but not as you would expect or hope them to. Or you would love to have that parameter in the button you just don't have available in the more advanced module.

That is more where I am going with, I think as a user approaching the whole module scheme....and for developing patches with a smaller learning curve for new people this makes all the sense to keep commonality.
