[kepler-dev] Drop Down box / Choice box on Canvas

[Unknown Madhusudan]

Hi Thomas,

  How soon can I test the dropdown box in he Kepler? I have couple of questions regarding dropdown box
  1) How the dropdown list is populated?
  2) What is the base class of the dropdown box?
  3) Can it be used just like a parameter on he canvas whose value I can access in Constant/String Constant etc?
  4) How will dropdown box be represented in the Kepler MOML file?

 Thank you for your help,
 Madhu

If this is what you wanted, then there shouldn't be any problem. The two drop-down boxes and the separator to their left are all specified in an XML file, as well as the options in each drop-down box.
