[kepler-users] support for list box?

[Christopher Brooks]

Hi Ufuk,
I think you would need to extend ChoiceStyle so that it
had a way to optionally accept the selection of multiple choices
and then returned an array with the values of those choices.

The issue is that if you have a parameter that expects one value
and uses the ChoiceStyle and select one choice, then that will work
fine.  However, if you select multiple choices, then it will return
multiple values, which would probably be an array.  The model
would need to be aware of this, and not all models can handle an
array where a single value is expected.

Another problem is that ChoiceStyle uses JComboBox for rendering.
If you want multiple selections, you would probably need to use
JList.

See http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/list.html

So, it would probably be better to add a ListStyle to
ptolemy.actor.gui.styles and add something that uses JList to
ptolemy.gui.Query.
