Problems adding a new line blank lineto LS list of check boxes

I would like to add a blank line at the bottom of a list of check boxes. I have a DialogBox that is currently set to the size it needs to be based on the list. (I really don’t want to redo the whole box.) I want to add the blank line because people who use Large Fonts do not see the bottom choice or the bottom vertical scroll arrow.

So far, I am able to add another check box, but I would prefer a plain, old, ordinary blank line. I tried adding ‘Print Chr(10) newline’ but it didn’t add a blank line for me.

Here is the basis of the code that adds my list. I can post more code if someone feels it would be helpful:

Sub setFieldList

Dim session As New notesSession

Dim mydoc As NotesDocument

Dim ListBoxchoices(100,1,1)

Dim i As Integer

Dim ChoicesItems As NotesItem

Dim fldname As String

Set db = session.CurrentDatabase

Set mydoc = New NotesDocument(db)

mydoc.ListBoxChoices = “All”

Set ChoicesItem = mydoc.GetFirstItem(“ListBoxChoices”)

i%=0

ListBoxChoices(i%,0,0,0) = “All”

ListBoxChoices(i%,1,0,0) = 0

ListBoxChoices(i%,1,1,0) = “”

ListBoxChoices(i%,1,1,1) = “”

i%= i% +1

ListBoxChoices(i%,0,0,0) = “Item1”

ListBoxChoices(i%,1,0,0) = 12.50

ListBoxChoices(i%,1,1,0) = “Text”

ListBoxChoices(i%,1,1,1) = “Field1”

i%= i% +1

ListBoxChoices(i%,0,0,0) = “Item2”

ListBoxChoices(i%,1,0,0) = 12.50

ListBoxChoices(i%,1,1,0) = “Text”

ListBoxChoices(i%,1,1,1) = “Field2”

…

End Sub

I don’t understand what the Sam Hill you’re doing. When are you executing this code you’re showing us? What do you mean the Dialogbox is “set to the size it needs to be”? Where is the form property or Dialogbox method argument that specifies the window size? How is this code supposed to tell us anything about what you’re doing in the UI? All it does is set a bunch of variables.

Why should the Print statement have any bearing on the size of a dialog? It just displays information on the status bar.

I’m assuming this a Notes client application.

I assume also that you’re using size to table, since the larger fonts would not affect a layout region.

So you’re doing something after the dialog is opened that affects the size of the table contents, e.g. setting some fields during the Postopen event that cause your list of checkbox choices to be longer than they were originally.

The answer is simple – whatever that something is, do it in the Queryopen event instead, so that the table contents don’t change size after the initial open.
