Create a list box

You can create applications that enable your users to select items from a list of options.

When adding a list box to your application, you place the control on the screen, set the properties to configure the list, and then write any scripts you may need.

List boxes can be loaded with items from a file or from keyboard input during run time. For more information, see Script windows controls.
