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.
