Input and drop down combo box

Help & Support

I want to use a Combobox in DOpus scripts. How do I do this?

There's an example here:

Can we have a simple new parameter? This will make it easier for people to write scripts.
e.g.
DOpus.input(topic, [notes], [default value], [style], [cancel], [width], [height], [items], [icon])
or shorter:
DOpus.input(topic, [notes], [default value], [style], [items], [icon])

You can add the drop-down options very easily in the resource editor GUI. They don't need to be in the code at all.

(Just realised the Pulldown_Array thing in the example code I linked to doesn't do anything and that whole line could be deleted. It was left over from the original code earlier in that thread.)

I tried it a few months ago. i need this combobox:

F4 opens the focused drop-down in Windows (for standard controls, at least).

I like to press the down key directly. How to add internal icon to dialogs?
Invalid:

dlg.Control("static3").label = "copy";      // Icon

The down arrow / cursor key will go to the next option in the drop-down without opening it. (This is standard Windows drop-down behavior and not specific to Opus.)
