Dan (Higgins) did a prototype of this use of the PythonScript actor to create
Swing interfaces for displaying drop down lists and then sending the selected
value out on a port.
This will be a useful feature when workflows need to provide data-driven
parameters (select date ranges or sites from a list of possible values).
The prototype SelectionDialog actor I have drafted so far includes the
following ports:
"choices" (list)
"prompt" (message for prompt as a string)
output (the value selected)
