Here are two examples of what I mean:
- I am sure you all too have experienced this frustration before. A dialog box opens that displays only part of a long string (e.g. a file path), but won't allow you to select the text so you can read the full string. Neither text container will resize upon window resizing. (By the way, you can force windows —specially dialog boxes— to resize with tools such as Sizer, but helps little in this case, since controls are fixed-width.) The text is hidden, period.
- Copying a very long drop-down list control contents to a text file.
Do you know any way to solve these problems?
What have you tried (in the case of the dialog box)? (Ctrl)+(A)? (Home) followed by (Shift)+(End)? – Scott – 2012-10-25T16:19:13.173
@Scott: The label just can't be focused, not with keyboard nor mouse. – jqngrc – 2012-10-25T21:17:21.847
There is a related superuser Q&A I did not see before posting mine, its answers offer other solutions.
