[_][font=‘Times New Roman’][/font][font=‘Times New Roman’][size=3][font=Times New Roman]building a form in a scrollPane.[/font][/size][/font]

[\*][font=‘Times New Roman’][size=3][font=Times New Roman]The last element of the form is a combobox.[/font][/size]

[/list][size=3][font=Times New Roman]I want its dropdown to open going up rather than down.[/font][/size]

[size=3][font=Times New Roman]Any idea ? It is important because going down, it messes the scrollpane height (increase by the dropdown rowcount).[/font][/size]

[font=Times New Roman][size=3]Thanks in advance[/size][/font]

I asked the same question on another site and never got an answer! I wanted to have a combobox slide out from the right…I wish this were possible.
