Multibe drobdown/combo menus text below other dropdowns

[J-Arnold]

Hi,
I try to use multible dropdowns/combo menus in an node.
I add in the example in file nodes/widget_nodes.py at line 25 additional dropdowns:
self.add_combo_menu('my_menu', 'Menu Test', items=items, tooltip='example custom tooltip')
self.add_combo_menu('my_menu2', 'Menu Test2', items=items, tooltip='example custom tooltip2')
self.add_combo_menu('my_menu3', 'Menu Test3', items=items, tooltip='example custom tooltip3')

after starting if you select the top Dropdown the select textes are below and hidden by the other dropdowns, so it is not possible to read and select the text.

I ran into a similar problem when using multiple combo boxes in the same node. It turned out that the problem is here:

NodeGraphQt/NodeGraphQt/widgets/node_widgets.py

Line 261 in a900a4b

self.setZValue(Z_VAL_NODE_WIDGET + 1)

I think it is possible to increase the z-value for the NodeComboBox when the user opens the dropdown list and restore it when the list is hidden.

Hi @J-Arnold,

I came across this issue before alternatively you could create you own custom node widget with multiple combo boxes and then embed it into the node.

See example:

Thanks @Yobas for the suggestion I'll look into implementing some kind of workaround for setting the z value.

Cheers,
J

Hi,

Thanks for the tip, if all dropdowns are in one Widget there is no overlay issue.
