Drop down valuelist in a User Dialog

[Per Lind]

Hello!

In my old FM5 I used Troi-dialogbox plugin which make it possible do calculated text and valuelists dropdown inputs,

and the useful barberpoole.

Do anyone know if its possible in FM7?

I have tryed with the input options in custom dialog box but I cant a drop down value list.

Hope someone can help me.

Instead, you might want to go another approach and take advantage of the whole New Window approach available in FM7.

Instead of a dialogue box, script a New Window, specify the size and location to "feel" like a dialogue box, and you can use all the features you would on a regular layout (menus, etc.).

In doing so, you may choose to write the script that calls the faux dialogue box as a looping scipt so you can prevent the user from simply clicking the "X" and closing it. Write the script to only exit the loop when a specific condition is met and you want to "Close" the faux dialogue box (aka Window).
