ComboBox and its family

[Stanislav_Hruska (Stanislav Hruška)]

I like that if I set

• MyDBEdit.align := alTop or alBottom
• MyDBEdit.MaxWidth := 200;
  then when expanding the form, MyDBEdit does not expand beyond that value
  If I apply the same to TAdvComboBox, the result is that the width of the form cannot be changed. This is clearly a bug.
  I would very much like it if the CombBox would behave as if Edit.

AdvComboBox does not have a MaxWidth property and neither the standard VCL TEdit or TDBEdit.
I do not know as such what you refer to here as standard there is no MawWidth property for these controls.

Interesting. If I place the components:

• directly on the form, they block the form
• on the TAdvPanel, they work as I described
  In the images, both components have Constraints.MaxWidth set to 250
  I only found this out now. So I don't want anything anymore
  Thank you for the response. Thanks to it I have clarified it. Maybe also someone else will welcome such behavior.
