33 List Box<br />

The list box is the most basic sheet object. It contains a list of all possible values of a specific field. Each<br />

row in the list box can represent several records in the loaded table, all with identical values. Selecting one<br />

value may thus be equivalent to selecting several records in the loaded table.<br />

A list box may also contain a cyclic or drill-down group. If a drill-down group is used, selecting a single<br />

value in the list box will cause the list box to drill down and switch to the next underlying field in the<br />

group. Drilling back up can be accomplished by clicking the drill-up icon in the list box caption.<br />

If a cyclic group is assigned to a list box it can be made to show the next field in the group by clicking on<br />

the cycle icon that appears in the list box caption. You may also go directly to any field in the group by<br />

using the Cycle option on the list box object menu.<br />

Right-click on the list box to display the List Box: Object Menu (page 457). It can also be accessed from<br />

the Object menu when the list box is the active object.<br />

33.1 List Box: Object Menu<br />

Cycle Only available when the list box is set to display a Non-Hierarchic Groups<br />

direct selection of which field to be displayed in the list box.<br />
