A drop box control is similar to a Standard List Box, but the default state only displays a single line of text. The remaining list is made available by clicking the drop down arrow button. The user can select any element from a list of items you assign to the drop box, but variable input is not allowed. For syntax details, see DROP_BOX directive.
For information on adding a drop box to a panel using the NOMADS Panel Designer, see Drop Box Control.
For a list of properties that can be applied to a drop box, see Drop_Box Properties.
Example:
DROP_BOX 1001,@(10,8,12,6)
DROP_BOX LOAD 1001,"Cat/Dog/Pig/"
DROP_BOX WRITE 1001,"Dog"
For examples of how to process a Standard list box, see List Box Controls.
