--------------9EB9332B2096C73209000A9F Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I have been working on a tax related report and txf export routines. I began using the multichoice option since I only need to select one item at a time. But I have over 100 items and the popup menu runs off the bottom of the screen and many choices are not visible. And menus with more than a couple of dozen items are a bit clunky anyway. The list option only allows multiple items to be selected, but I need only one. Also, the help strings do not pop up in the list box, as they do for the multichoice option. A drop down list box might be the best choice here, but I don't see that one is available to be called from scheme. Questions: 1. Is there a list option with single choice only? 2. Is there a list option that displays the help strings? 3. Could the multichoice option be fixed to keep all of the choices on the screen? 4. Is there or could there be a drop down list box option? 5. Is there a way to implement callback functions in scheme for events such as button clicks, list box selection changes, etc.? I haven't looked at any of the c code, as I was hoping to do all of this in scheme, but that may not be possible. -- Gilligan | __o .oooO /| _ \<,_ ( ) /p|\ (_)/ (_) \ ( Oooo. / | \ ------------ \_) ( ) ======== ) / ======== gilligan@mpinet.net (_/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ uschold@cs.ucf.edu --------------9EB9332B2096C73209000A9F Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"> I have been working on a tax related report and txf export routines.I began using the multichoice option since I only need to select one item at a time.
