list_box not displaying properly?

Hi, i was trying to use list_box is in a simple app. but the list is not
shown properly. it just not showing the drop list, but you can use arrow up
and down to select. so Im suspecting anyone has this issue:

but weird thing is in the Shoes manual (the manual bundled with install)
when i try to run "run this" it worked properly.


my environment =
Win7 x64 eng
shoes3 r.1514

Quick example: Try this, save it and run.

Shoes.app do
  shape = list_box :items => ["Square", "Oval", "Rectangle"]
  button "Report" do
    Shoes.p [shape.text]
  end
end

Thanks

What happens if you replace Shoes.p with just ‘p’?

Your example works on Linux. Shoes.p prints the selection on on the
console window. Just 'p' prints the selection to the terminal window.

The Shoes windows has a list box and the button (flow layout). The list
box has no default selection however. 

See if this line in your example does what you think it should do

  shape = list_box :items => ["Square", "Oval", "Rectangle"], :choose =>
"Oval"

Hi Yiling,

Thank you for the screenshots.
I've got the same behavior (not open pull down menu of list_box) with Shoes
2 on Windows XP. This is a tiny note about that:
http://shoes-tutorial-note.heroku.com/html/01300_Trivia.html

But, watch this: http://www.rin-shun.com/tmp/list_box_confirmation.swf.html

List box works properly with Shoes 3 on my Windows 7 (32bit).

I'm not sure, but I noticed that window style seems difference between your
snapshot and my above online demo.

Are you using XP mode or something?
I'm using default setting.

on win32 machine. need to go back home to test it.

I see. One question. Doesn't `:height => 30` help you under x64 pc?

In my case with Shoes 2 on Windows XP, it helps well.

Okay, just got 32bit win7 installed, I can confirm it works perfectly on
win7 32 bitwithout :height and :choose!

list_box under 64bit = fail

Hi Yiling,

Thank you for taking the time and specifying the bug.
We need much debugging for 64bit Windows...

Hi Yiling,

I tried to run the code with Shoes 3 (0.r1514) on Windows 7 32bit laptop. It
worked properly. Umm,...

I'm not sure, but may be a specific problem of 64bit on Windows 7.
Sorry, I can't confirm. Could anyone who have 64bit on Windows 7 pc confirm?

What snippet?
There are two snippets on this page:
http://shoes.heroku.com/manual/ListBox.html

Do they work properly on your pc?

And one more. Try to add :height option explicitly like the following.
Are there any changes?

Shoes.app do
 list_box :items => ["Sqare", "Oval", "Rectangle"],
   :height => 30
end

Both snippets worked properly (when u hit "run this" from the manual), I
will try it on win 32 machine now.
