How to control the width of the window popup_menu.

[Kemiisto]

Hello,

How to increase the width of the window created by the command:

appuifw.popup_menu (list [, label])

From what I saw the window displays up to 25 characters.

And so if the "label", or some element of the "list" is longer than 25 characters it is cut.

Thanks,
Markos

Why do you need to show so many characters. After all,the width of phone screen is limited.
Maybe you can modify the appuifw module with carbide c++ to solve it.

Dear,

Is there any other simpler way?

I know very little about C.

I never studied C++.

And I'm learning python now.

Would not have a way to force the jump line for phrases with more than 25 characters?

Thank you,
Markos

Ok,try following code.

import appuifw

items = [(u"aaaaaaaaaaaa",u"aaaaaaaaaaaaa"),(u"bbbbbbbbbbbb",u"bbbbbbbbbbbbb"),(u"cccccccccccc",u"ccccccccccccc")]

appuifw.popup_menu(items,u"DoublePopupMenuStyle")

plus: I am Chinese. Can you tell me what "Markos" means? Thanks.

Thanks for the tip

In Portuguese my name is written as "Marcos". But I use "Markos" because of Esperanto.

The letter "k" of Markos in Esperanto, has the same sound of the letter "c" of Marcos in Portuguese.

I confess I didn't know the meaning of my name but searching on Google I found at:

That the meaning of Markos is "dedicated to Mars" in Latin.

Thanks for your attention.
