I'm am experiencing an issue with dropdowns on sites using the latest EO.WebBrowser DLL. When I click on any dropdown, it highlights the dropdown box, but never expands the selections.

Please let me know how to correct this.
I am using the free version and was about to purchase the full, but experienced this one issue.

Thanks,

Hi,

We are not aware of any problem like this. You can try to use our TabbedBrowser application to browse the page and see if the same problem occurs. If the same problem occurs, please post or PM us the Url of the problem page and we will be happy to investigate further.

Thanks!

Thanks for the quick reply.
So the TabbedBrowser app works. But my app doesn't. I used the EO.Webbrowser.dll basically out of the box.
Can you tell me what I can use to mimic what TabbedBrowser app is using?

Site in question is http://www.partycity.com/category/birthday+parties/boys+birthday/boys+party+supplies.do
On mid-screen is a "Sort By" dropdown. I'm currently unable to click on the dropdown to display results.

Also a side question, is there a way to make the right scroll bar larger?

Thanks,

Hi,

The TabbedBrowser doesn't do anything special about drop down. So you may want to look into your app and see if you do anything special. If the problem still occurs, you can try to isolate the problem into a test project and send the test project to us:

You can customize scrollbar with CSS. See here for more details:

Test Project has been submitted. Thanks.

So the issue seems to be isolated to WinForms. I redid the application in WPF and the dropdowns work.

Hi,

We have looked into the test project you sent to us. The reason is because your Form's TopMost is set to true. Chrome engine can not display a ComboBox over a top most window. So you must remove TopMost=True from your code.

Thanks!

I notice that I have the same problem described above.

I've got a Winform (VB.net) and set TopMost=false;


But in the Webview all the functions work except for the drop-down menu:


Are there other tricks I could try?

Thanks in advance.

To Almer Veenendaal,

As we have already replied earlier in this thread, Chromium browser engine does NOT support top most windows. So you can not set your window to top most.

Thanks!
