A list item is a list of text elements that can be displayed as either a poplist, TList, or combo box.
A list item displays a fixed number of elements. Each element in a list is a text string up to 255 characters long. At runtime, you can programmatically evaluate, add, or remove list elements.
List Item Type | Description |
---|---|
PopList |
The poplist style list item appears initially as a single field (similar to a text item field). When the end user selects the list icon, a list of available choices appears. |
TList |
The TList style list item appears as a rectangular box which displays a fixed number of values. When the Tist contains values that cannot be displayed (due to the displayable area of the item), a vertical scroll bar appears, allowing the end user to view and select undisplayed values. |
Combo Box |
The combo box style list item combines the features found in poplists and text items. It displays fixed values and can accept a user-entered value. |
Note: Values entered by the end user do not automatically become permanent entries in the list. To make them part of the list, use the ADD_LIST_ELEMENT Built-in.
The combo box list item appears as an empty box with an icon to the right. The user can enter text directly into the combo field or click the list icon to display a list of available values.
