Qooxdoo discrepancy for setting maxWidth on SelectBox vs. VirtualSelectBox

Question

Is there a way to set the MaxWidth on the VirtualSelectBox Button, but not it's associated list?

The SelectBox seems to behave properly: http://tinyurl.com/c5nhxb6

while the VirtualSelectBox does not: http://tinyurl.com/bu2w3k8

Thanks!

Answer 1

the only way I found was to override the auto adjustment from the drop-down. It's not a elegant way, but you can do this by setting the width when the drop-down appears:

var dropDown = selectBox.getChildControl("dropdown");
dropDown.addListener("appear", function() {
  this.setWidth(200);  
});

I would suggest to open an enhancement bug report, to address this feature for the future.
