How to create a selection box

Featured Replies

I am wanting to create a selection box much like you see when you are exporting a table to a csv file. In that example, you see a list of available field names from the current layout. As you click a field name, it is added to the "Fields exported order" box and it disappears from the available fields box.

In my case, I am selecting document types from a document type box.

I have a possibility of anywhere from 1 to 50 document types for a given customer. I am wanting the user to select which documents are present for each customer.

I know how to load the selection box.... (I presume that I populate a field with all the possibilities separated by line feeds. I just dont know how to allow someone to click on a document type and have it move across to the other side.

Can someone please point me to a prior post on this or point me in a direction.

Thanks,

Oh.... I forgot the most important part.... I would like to put a vertical scroll bar on the selection box

I believe that you are referring to auto reducing value lists...

I believe this technique can achieve your goal
