VL with script functions?

[anna f]

Is it possible to make a value list with script functions as the choices? Or calculations? I would like to make a drop-down that allows a user to choose which layout s/he wants to go to (without having to additionally click a "Go" button after choosing.) Thnx!

Yes, it's possible. You'll need a plug-in like EventScript or Troi Activator to trigger the script on exiting the field.

You don't need a plugin. You can do it but it will only work on Windows. The value list must be a popup menu (not a drop=down list) and be set to not allow the user to enter the field. Create a script that you attach to the field:

GoToField(FieldWithPopup)

Pause/Resume Script(1 sec)

Commit Record/Request

..
