In this topic you will learn how to change size of the selector drop-down window. Each selector control in Acumatica has a button indicated with a magnifier icon. By clicking this button, users can open a drop-down window showing a list of objects available for selection.

Changing default size ranges for selector drop-down window

The following 4 properties are available for PXSelector and PXSegmentMask input controls to define size range for a drop-down window:

• MinDropWidth: gets or sets the minimum drop-down control width
• MinDropHeight: gets or sets the minimum drop-down control height
• MaxDropWidth: gets or sets the maximum drop-down control width
• MaxDropHeight: gets or sets the maximum drop-down control height

Please be advised, the 4 properties listed above are hidden from the Properties window and won’t be suggested to you by IntelliSense while editing Aspx pages in Visual Studio.

To expand drop-down window width of the Customer selector

Default 13-column layout defined for the Customer selector on the Sales Orders screen (SO.30.10.00) doesn’t quite fit the default size range specified for selector drop-down window.

To set value for the MaxDropWidth property in Layout Editor, uncheck Hide Advanced Properties radio button as shown on the screenshot below:

After publishing the customization, users can enjoy the new layout of Customer selector, now expanded upon entire working frame:
